"So for me, the strike is very much about equality, fairness and job security."
- Nadje Al-Ali, professor of gender studies at SOAS, University of London
"... My decision to strike was easy and based on two simple questions. Firstly, can universities afford a better offer? Secondly, can we, as employees, afford this pay 'rise'?"
-Freyja Peters, administrator in a research centre at the University of Manchester
"... Yes, I am striking about pay but I am also striking because I believe that education is about values other than market value."
-Tom Henri, lecturer in social work at Goldsmiths, University of London
