@SecRubio This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.

Our university management, being disappointed with more strike action that opposes COMPULSORY REDUNDANCIES whilst sitting on hundreds of millions of reserves, is ... quite a position to take.

Solidarity! It all sounds similar to the newcastle story, entirely unnecessary approach from management indeed!
And there it is. A shocking, appalling, and deeply disappointing announcement of an entirely unnecessary move from the university. But this is exactly why we have already started organising . https://t.co/QPyatkhNgB
