A Striking Month

Subscriber Once more, we'd like to extend out solidarity to all the people who have participated in the UCU strike action in the past two months, including the seventeen institution occupations from students in support of their striking lecturers. The latest update from UCU and UUK dates to 26th March, with a new UCU ballot vote due in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we stand in solidarity with all staff and students still involved in the dispute, and hope in a speedy resolution on the USS situation.

News of further action - this time led by students in support of abortion rights in Northern Ireland and student sex workers - broke from the floor of the NUS Conference 2018, which we swiftly covered on The Norwich Radical thanks to a contributor present at the event.

In other work on the Radical, Stu Lucy's On Immigration series has now reached Part 4, Carmina Masoliver welcomed International Women's Day with a lowdown of feminist anthems we all need to see us through 2018, and Scott Mclaughlan took a long hard look at the meaning of Rees-Mogg. Over in Norwich, Laura Potts hails the vitality of Indie & Student exhibitions, Eli Lambe wrote a strongly worded Open Letter to Steve Downes EDP, Sara Harrington looked at the Owl Sanctuary's closure and the fine city's music scene. and some of our Norwich resident writers went and rocked out to The BellRays, Sunflower Bean, and The Handsome Family

Our team has given us news on Russia, Syria, Spain and Slovakia this month. And for those of you who may be interested, we're still recruiting for a new Inter|National Editor to join our team. Anyone can apply! You do not need to be based in the UK,  English does not need to be your first language, and we accept work-share applicants too. Check out our vacancy now, and spread the word - the deadline has been extended the end of this week, midnight Sunday 8th April!

In solidarity,

Alex & Cadi
