Out on strike again today, as part of our national dispute over pay and pensions. Heard today that our last strike in February, which led to the University management discussing the dispute with the Union at ACAS, has resulted in significant concessions. A welcome result from collective action (comrades :-)!).
Unlike the last strike, I did not spend today on the picket line, but rather in the welcome Spring sunshine, doing anything but Uni work, So, I cleaned out a drain, went down to the allotment to pick the first purple sprouting broccoli of the year and some onions that have come up from last year, admired the flowers in our front garden, and moved a bit of turf and soil with Su before we went for for a walk followed by a very nice meal out. All good practice for retirement, as the photos attest.
