Another early start with pickets at University House and Westwood from 7am.
It was a quieter day today as quite a few people are taking an opportunity to recharge their picketing batteries before another big day tomorrow. As always the students turned out in support and despite the lower turnout overall we still handed out over 1000 leaflets to staff and students about the pensions dispute.
In other news, over 250 new members have joined UCU at Warwick in the last 3 months comprised of permanent, fixed term and sessional teaching staff from across all faculties and many professional services departments. We are really pleased to see so many new people – the more members, the more strength we have to improve and defend our working, and the students learning, conditions. We expect this number to grow further in the coming weeks as UCU clears the backlog caused by thousands of people joining to protect their future.
