All out, folks!
UCU have called a day of action in every University in the UK on Friday 20th November. We will be working with sister unions to ensure the biggest possible support for protests, rallies and events that will be held on this day.
This is part of our fight to protect jobs and courses as well as build solidarity across the union.
Materials will be dispatched to every branch. Start your local planning now.

With Modi launching a crackdown on the growing Cockroach movement in India, this interview with @AameenAmitoj2 on the first phase of protest, from the forthcoming autumn issue of International Socialism, is essential reading.
Full solidarity to the CJP.

Leicester University, which is shutting two humanities departments, and forcing out many other staff, has teamed up with Microsoft to roll largely unwanted AI systems.
@leicesterucu asked how much it’s costing. They refused to tell us.
