What a wonderful sight to see 😍 Union solidarity LeedsUniUnison Leeds University UCU University of Leeds Unite #ucuRising

Well this has definitely got to be a highlight for today! My placard has been endorsed by the Leeds Uni Peregrines ! Could not hope for much greater solidarity than that. #ucuRising #angrylibrarians

Solidarity forever! Fantastic march and rally by all the Leeds HE trade unions. #AngryLibrarians #ucuRISING

Leeds March for Higher Education! #ucuRISING Leeds University UCU LeedsUniUnison

Today, university staff go on strike They are striking for decent pay, pensions and secure employment They are striking for students They are striking for the future of higher education RT IF YOU BACK THEM #ucuRISING

Apparently the library management don't like the #AngryLibrarians hashtag. Don't make the library staff angry. #ucuRISING

Myself & @LiviDeeHistory have been collecting anonymous testimonies from our precariously employed fixed term colleagues. Our senior UCU at Queen's colleagues agreed to be the faces of these anonymous stories. These stories are not unique to @qubel but reflect UK HE #ucuRISING UCU

Huge march for the right to strike today in Leeds. All the TUs out in force and in solidarity with one another. #ucuRISING UCU National Education Union UNISON in Higher Education Unite the union: join a union

Leeds looking splendid today, full of workers, children, and dogs, all standing up for a fairer society for all. #ucuRISING UCU

A leaflet from today’s UMUCU pickets. A surprising number of people remembered the game Frustration! #FixedTermFrustration is sadly very contemporary. Any chance of making it too a thing of the past, UCEA?

Think you know what teaching in a university is like? Here, UCU member Chris has a message about the reality of it for far too many staff. Share the video. Support the strike. Join us in demanding better. #ucuRISING

Lovely group of Leeds University UCU #angrylibrarians picketing today outside Leeds Uni Library Laidlaw. Of course staff are angry - rubbish pay rises, pension cuts, continuing gender/race/disability pay gaps, & endemic precarity 😡😡 Strike for fairness! Fairness is OVERDUE!

I'll be voting YES in the UCU reballot. Poster is up on my office wall. #ucuRSING

Picket poetry this morning

Amidst strike action and voting in re-ballot from next week, please also remember to vote in the NEC elections! I'm voting for the brilliant UCU Commons #ucuRISING candidates. Read more about them and Commons values at ucucommons.org

I've voted yes! UCU UMUCU #ucuRISING

Our coffee chats Academic Libraries North are wide-ranging and always enlightening! Thanks to everyone that came along this morning.

A great day at #FigshareFest2023

I cannot begin to express how repulsive this message from our university 'leadership' is.
