Credit: Cardiff Uni UCU.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nA tweet from the Cardiff UCU twitter account read: \u201cHello Cardiff Uni Students\u2019 Union. Your own silence on the strike isn\u2019t reflecting broader student support in Cardiff or the UK. Let\u2019s work together; let\u2019s talk.\u201d<br \/>\nDr Andy Williams, a senior lecturer at Cardiff JOMEC and the media spokesperson for Cardiff UCU said: \u201cThe flash mob wasn\u2019t only about the silence from the students&#8217; union, that was just a factor. The flash mob was deliberately ambiguous; it could be read in a lot of different ways because it represented a lot of different things.\u201d<br \/>\nDr Williams said the flash mob enjoyed a great amount of support from students. \u201cOur students were protesting for a variety of reasons today, some joined because it was a little bit different. It\u2019s a more open and playful way of making a point about something.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a change from holding a placard or standing on a picket line, and it really worked because it allowed more students to join us and support their lecturers. But this is no different to the levels of support from students throughout the three weeks of strikes, we\u2019ve been bowled over by how many students support us, and the many ways they want to help us.\u201d<br \/>\nNeil McEvoy, AM for South Wales Central, joined the picket lines today in a show of support.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Many thanks for your support &amp; solidarity, Neil! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AT0625DDBq\">https:\/\/t.co\/AT0625DDBq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cardiff UCU\u270a\ud83c\udf31 (@CardiffUCU) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CardiffUCU\/status\/971017325574082561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nMr McEvoy said: \u201cWorking hard, saving a good pension and then being able to enjoy retirement is a key part of the Welsh dream. Slashing lecturers\u2019 pensions like this is just not on.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to support the university staff. Their morale is high because they know what they\u2019re doing is right and they know they have the public\u2019s support. We all stand with them and I\u2019ll keep joining them for as long as it takes to win\u201d.<br \/>\nLaura Rees, 22, a postgraduate history student at Cardiff University, also supports the strikes.<br \/>\nMs Rees said: \u201cI think the strikes are important as it is a lot of pension money for the lecturers to lose and they really do go above and beyond for students, it\u2019s only fair that they get respect they deserve from the university for that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standing still flash mob @cardiffuni &amp; @cardiffstudents in support of the #USSstrike: Hello Cardiff Uni Students\u2019 Union.
