> Some of our colleagues are being threatened with punitive pay deductions if they refuse to reschedule lectures and other classes cancelled due to strike action: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/02/uk-universities-threaten-punish-striking-staff-cancelled-lectures?CMP=share_btn_link
> For example, staff at the University of Kent are being told that they will lose 50% of pay if they refuse to reschedule classes, every day continuously until they agree to do so. The management is reserving the right to increase that to 100% of pay. Apparently this is legal. This makes an absolute mockery of the right to strike without penalty other than loss of pay for strike days.

> I've started a petition to be delivered to the Vice Chancellors of the Universities that are making these threats. Please sign, please send to friends and university lists, and please advertise it on Twitter, Facebook etc if you use these. This is the petition link: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-punishing-striking-staff-twice-over
