The Tab Liverpool spoke to Kathryn Manley, a spokesperson for Student-Staff Solidarity and third-year UOL student studying Sociology and Social Policy. She explained that “We took part in the occupation today because it is important to stand in solidarity with striking staff. Their working conditions are our learning conditions.”
Kathryn also said that “Staff deserve their rightful pensions, better pay, as well as working conditions and equality in the workplace. As students, we believe that we should all support our staff as they are the ones who educate us and support us.”
Wow what a day! Huge turnout on the pickets, an occupation by our students and amazing teach outs! This action is only getting stronger. And yet still no word from our leadership about whether they support their staff in wanting dignified pensions. We need an answer #UCUstrike pic.twitter.com/IMWCFpC37B

She hopes that by “doing direct action, we are pressuring the university to support the demands made by the UCU when in consultation with UUK.”
If you wish to stand in solidarity with the staff strikes, they “will be out on the picket lines from 8 am for the rest of the ongoing strikes.”
The University of Liverpool has been contacted for a comment.
