Materials for February March 2020

All of the files here are things that you can use to explain the strike action to students.  The information in the letter to students and the “Why we’re striking” posters are both very clear on the inequality and unfairness that we are aiming to change. Students will understand that these things are worth fighting for, even if that fight will have an impact on their study.
