Dr Gaia Brezzo - To cross or not to cross the picket line: striking as an ECR.
Dr Gaia Brezzo narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.
Good researchers evaluate data from every angle. They explore cause and effect and untangle the tricky web that interconnects everyday phenomena. So it is easy to understand why Gaia has found it difficult to decide where she stands when it comes to the decision around if she should or shouldn't participate in the industrial action voted on by University & College Union members in a dispute with Universities over pensions, pay and conditions. In this blog Gaia sets out the issues and shares her thoughts on the challenges, the points of dispute and how to respond.
