Our comrade @ThandiLoewenson has designed and produced this brilliant sticker in support of international staff to supplement the @ucu sticker in support of EU nationals. We call on branches to support @intnlandbroke and use the sticker. Watch this space #wearetheuniversity teapawt.net/ThandiLoewenson/status…
