Strikes and Pay Inequality: A Story of 2013

My longest article for Concourse Online has just been published, with more of an Editorial style.

Follow the link below to read about how the Industrial Action by staff and faculty at Keele University is not an isolated incident, and has a wider reach even than the Higher Education sector.


"The strike by University staff and faculty is definitely in opposition to the coalition government’s attack on the Education system (among other attacks via austerity, which I really cannot get into). However, it is also reflective of a much bigger movement, of fairness in pay, worldwide."
Just because it's now 2014, doesn't mean we should forget about the action continuing from 2013!
