Yes, you heard right. Uni of Brighton are sacking IT staff. No, we don't understand it either. You're right, they COULD choose not to. What reality are they living in?!

Busy day on the picket today ending in a book & bake sale at Falmer now. We'll be out on strike until
@uniofbrighton
rescinds every single redundancy. Students- they've had 13 weeks to think about it, but they prefer to try to starve us out & disrupt your education. Shame on them

We want to thank every student for your amazing support. When you tell us in class that you support the strikes🤩 When you finish emails with 'PS solidarity in the strikes' ✊ When your first response to hearing about the strikes is 'what can we do?' 🧵 1/4

Meet Debra Humphris, vice chancellor of Brighton Uni.
Debra earns a modest £246,480 per year.
Today she excused staff pay cuts by saying she has to “pay the gas bill.”
@IanMearnsMP
pointed out that underpaid staff, facing a cost of living crisis, have to make ends meet.
