I’m proud to call myself an intersectional feminist and stand in solidarity with our trans & non-binary siblings in the fight for equality. #TransDayOfVisibility
First weekend I’ve had off in a while and I’m spending it with my mum ♥️
I was very sad to learn yesterday that @ucu President Elect, Nita Sanghera has passed away. Nita was formidable, tenacious, a gifted orator, and impeccably stylish. She inspired others to fight against injustice, & will never be forgotten. Rest in power, Nita.
Today UCU has announced talks with Universities UK and USS on reforming the #USS pension scheme will take place in the new year. This is a really important and welcome development. The implementation of the last JEP report was controlled by USS, with employers' support. This time we'll have three-way talks led by the JEP Chair herself, Joanne Segars. Our industrial action has got us one step closer to a resolution.
Belated thanks to @dundeeucu President who gave me this trans ally badge at the Glasgow #UCUstrike rally last week. It’s the first time I’ve worn this coat since last week. What a lovely surprise to see it again. 🥰
Our canvassing with Alex Sobel in Adel. #generalelection
Today in Leicester was amazing. Big pickets & a huge rally. Sadly there was also tears as @leicesterucu members recounted why they were striking. This has to stop! Things have to change! VCs, hold your head in shame for not working harder with us. #UCUStrikesBack #UCUStrike
Fancy dress day on the Leicester UCU picket, so I’ve dressed as a caricature of myself. 🐆💋
