"These academic workers play such a critical role and deserve to earn enough to pay for basic needs." latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Editorial: A strike by UC academic workers would tarnish the prestigious university system

The failure by UC to reach an agreement with nearly 50,000 academic workers on pay increases and other benefits tarnishes a higher education system long seen as the best in the country.

Woman: like men, but cheaper An excellent placard highlighting the #genderpaygap at @cardiffuni ... it’s a shame we don’t have data to talk about a #BMEpaygap I know this is something that @SusanCousins6 would like to rectify #wearetheuniversity #ucustrikesback @CardiffUCU
