£2.5 billion in assets. £81 million surplus.
Still cutting pay. Still ignoring equalities.

Imperial staff have had enough.
They’re on strike for fair pay, respect and real negotiations. ✊

Teesdale is also estimated to have experienced a 65% increase in union density (22% to 36%). This very extreme increase, which is in contrast to its neighbouring areas, could in part be due to the small sample sizes upon which estimates for this rural area are based.
