The group urges students not to go onto campus on the 14th-18th and 21st-22nd of February. Students should also stay at home for the other strike dates on the 1st-2nd of March, in line with the staff strike dates.
The Student Support Strikes Instagram post explains how staff in the UCU are striking as a result of “low pay”, “exhausting workloads”, “unfair pensions”, “insecure contracts”, and “gender, race & disability pay gaps”.

The group also explain how this is a “last resort” as they know that “strikes do work” and claim that “the more support staff have, the sooner the dispute will end.”
If students wish to express support for the strikes, the organisation advise that they “spread the word & don’t cross the picket line”, “email uni management”, and “visit the picket lines & teach-outs”.
