#UCUStrikesBack (a long thread, apologies)

From tomorrow morning, like many of my colleagues, I will be joining the #UCUstrike over pay, casualisation, equality, and pensions.

This is a thread about why I'm on strike with @BirminghamUCU and why this is so important for me. I've worked at six different UK universities since 2013 (hello precarity!) & I've seen a lot of the conditions in different parts of the country. In every single institution, one of more of the following issues has arisen. These problems are not new and are not isolated.
