Students and the lowest-paid staff at LSE have suffered injustice at the hands of the institution, with LSE consistently failing to live up to their promises of better conditions and pay for its most essential workers. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

Students here are being treated as consumers first, learners second, and milked for every penny. Struggling to get out of accommodation contracts that they couldn& #39;t even use, locked in student halls against their will. Zoom University, it& #39;s not what they signed up for. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

Cleaning staff are being exploited at their own workplace with barely any PPE, breaks, and being forced to work without fair pay and proper working conditions. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

Free and fair education should be for life – not just during pandemics. Education should work in the public interest, free from profit and commercialisation. Years of cuts have meant that education is now dominated by market forces and it& #39;s not good enough. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

To get where we need to be, we have to start breaking the links that chain monetary value to education. Only when learning is again widely recognised as being fundamental to society – a public good – rather than just another transaction, can we win the education system we need.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

We need urgent action. Students must be able to get out of accommodation contracts without financial loss, with the government picking up the tab. We need rent rebates, free education, the write-off of student debt, living grants for all and private interests off our campuses. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

Universities must be publicly funded so all young people have an equal chance to a Higher Education. This is a moment to push back and fight for an alternative. It’s time for students and staff to be treated fairly. Join the campaigns and fight! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Erhobene Faust" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust">
