A crossover of @CambridgeUCU's #j4cs campaign, @CamDefendEd and @RMTunion at Cambridge station. Union solidarity is always such a boon on picket lines. Also great to see @ASLEFunion action bringing Cambridge to a near stand still

On Thursday night, we disrupted @RollsRoyce CEO Warren East's talk to tell him that there is NOTHING 'sustainable' about war.
Rolls Royce produce technology has been used to murder civilians in Yemen and Palestine.
#ClimateJustice =demilitarisation, not net-zero fighter jets.

Also, a gentle reminder to the pro-VC for Education that A LOT of the people he addresses through all-students emails are also University and College workers. The student occupation of the lecture block was in direct support of our working rights.

Eurgh patronising much @Cambridge_Uni?
Stop portraying occupiers as annoying kids to be reprimanded, they are adults engaging in legitimate and peaceful protest against the collapse of Higher Education.
All solidarity to @CamDefendEd!

🗣️ WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF ACHIEVING RECOGNITION! 🗣️
After two years of negotiations, we are about to get recognised by the @Cambridge_Uni for all our bargaining groups (academic, academic-related, and research staff).
It has been a hard fight - 🧵

Continuing the theme of solidarity we received a message from Pete Monaghan bringing greetings from @UcuCrc @UCUEHCRegion and @CambsTUC (who donated £200 to our strike fund). Massive thanks to @CamDefendEd raised an amazing £120 in donations too. #UCUstrike

For our final day of #UCUstrike picketing this week we are down at @Cambridge_Uni biomedical campus outside the Cancer Research Cambridge Institute. Come and join us until 12.30!
Cambridge Defend Education retweeted
Our pickets are hitting central Cambridge departments today including the Downing site, Chemistry and Engineering. Instead of disrupting lectures we're focussing on raising awareness about why we strike from research, admin and all other work. #UCUstrikes #NotjustLecturers

Our students are keeping themselves busy in the Angela Davis building on occupied Sidgwick site. Here is their #RadicalLibrary. Any suggestions for their reading list #UCUStrike Twitter?

“Precarity makes workers more vulnerable to victimisation, abuse, and bullying – unable to speak up, and more likely to be abandoned or suffer non-renewal of contracts if they do.” Read moving testimony of mistreatment from some of our members: thetab.com/uk/cambridge/2022…

Pleased to announce that @Cambridge_Uni has a new name for the Sidgwick Lecture Block (occupied yesterday by students in solidarity with #UCUstrike)

We will be demonstrating outside the Cambridge Union at 4:15 PM on Tuesday 8th of February to protest the coinciding event with Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely, and express our solidarity with the Palestinians.
Cambridge Defend Education retweeted
Please sign and share the open letter with as many people as you can to make our message clear: we stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and declare that Tzipi Hotovely is not welcome here. 4/4
Cambridge Defend Education retweeted
Hotovely has asserted that the entire West Bank belongs to Israelis alone: “This land is ours. All of it is ours. We did not come here to apologise for that.” She has also supported the extreme fascist group the Lehava, and argued it is important to “prevent mixed marriages.” 3/4
Cambridge Defend Education retweeted
Hotovely has engaged in the denial of Palestinian history by calling the Nakba “an Arab lie.” She has incited violent attacks against Palestinians, claiming they are “thieves of history,” and has pushed for the expansion of racially segregated settlements. 2/4
Cambridge Defend Education retweeted
We are appalled and shocked at @cambridgeunion's decision to invite Tzipi Hotovely to give a monologue on Tuesday 8th February, and legitimise her extreme racist ideology. In response, we have co-written an open letter condemning the Cambridge Union: forms.gle/MLwU1BrqRUxgh9pp6. 1/4
