Momentum calls on Labour members to join striking lecturers' picket lines
Students take part in a protest in Leeds city centre, to support university workers as they begin a month of walkouts in the latest stage of a bitter dispute over pensions

MOMENTUM is launching a new "strike to win" campaign for a Labour victory today, by urging supporters to join the picket lines of university and climate strikers.

The pro-Jeremy Corbyn campaign group announced the new initiative calling on Labour activists to show solidarity with striking members of the UCU, as well as backing students walking out of schools against climate catastrophe.

University lecturers and staff began their eight-day strike on Monday against workplace casualisation, worsening pay and conditions, the gender pay gap and declining workplace conditions.
