See my response to Ian...
Yes!
Is it time to open talks between NATFHE and equivalent bodies
for other academics (sorry, my grasp of the organisational
politics is sketchy) and the National Union of Journalists,
over a campaign?
The Situationist part of me is very much drawn to the idea of
an academics' strike. "Sorry, there will be no more history
until we get our due, philosophers will not think and the
natural universe will do whatever it damn well pleases without
any physicists or biologists to keep an eye on it."
