University staff: second coordinated strike over pay offer 

Reports from universities nationwide:

Pickets were out today on both entrances to Keele University.

One picket complained at the way in which, “Over years Keele has introduced a system where managers are paid more than myself to tell me to do what I was already doing successfully in the first place! And now they want us to except a 1% pay increase.”



A picket who was bravely standing in the middle of the road (!) told us, “We need to plan where we go next with this strike”.

The need for a 24 general strike went down well with all those we spoke to and the majority thought Labour were no different than the Tories or Lib Dems.
