What are unions for? Holding workers up for the mob to stone, is it?
‘I don’t feel the need to back anybody’, says Jo Grady head of the of UCU when asked whether she backed @Docstockk against the harassment she has suffered. Why would anyone belong to such a union? @BBCr4today
And it’s all the more novel and innovative because the workplace is higher education and research, where diversity of thinking is ESSENTIAL TO THE JOB. It’s like a union for workers at a plutonium fuels production plant excluding workers who follow safety procedures.

A union that actively excludes the voices of some of its members, based on their stance on a matter of public policy. That’s a new one for me.
