    Update : the UCU does have specific demands around casualisation

    Replying to @Sam_Marsh101 @tomstafford

    AGAINST: Academic pay is good compared to many jobs AGAINST: Although casualisation and inequality are important, the demands of the strike are around pay. How can we effectively strike for work on casualisation if we don't have concrete demands?
