‘Exploitation is the dirty secret of higher education’: University staff on why they’re striking

Cars hooting, chanting into megaphones, picket lines of public sector workers standing out in the cold in puffer jackets. Scenes like this have become a familiar sight in recent months — particularly today, on what’s being dubbed ‘Walkout Wednesday’, as teachers, train drivers and civil servants all take part in what is reportedly the biggest day of strike action in over a decade. One picket line that has been receiving rather less attention in recent months than some of the others is that of lecturers and university staff — 70,000 of whom from the University and College Union (UCU) have been striking across the capital today in an ongoing dispute about pay, pensions and working conditions.
