Today is International Sex Worker Rights Day. We're proud to be fighting for sex workers to be protected by the law, rather than made more vulnerable by criminalisation. (1/x)

Blast from the past! Here we see an old advert for academic staff in 1993 - and look how salaries have declined, even since 2009. Except, of course, for *cough* certain positions... #ucuRISING
1993 advert for two jobs at the University of Greenwich: professor, reader or principal lecturer in civil engineering, paid 拢30,438, and for senior lecturer in Law, paid 拢20,217-25,668.

These are the people that literally run the country. The people that care of those who are ill, that teach your children, that take you where you need to go. How can you not support them? #SupportTheStrikes

"The policies we've been subjected to are not working." "The focus of contemporary higher education really isn't where it should be." We went to the UCU rally in King's Cross to ask lecturers why they're striking.
