I agree, but the alternative is to do nothing and I don't think we can afford that...

I don't think we (staff) have any other recourse. Most people outside academia doesn't know the extent of the problem and how many jobs are being lost every day. Strikes get attention from the media.
Also, the only solution management is willing to consider is dismissing people, but never those on the top. They have decided that's the only solution, so strikes are about asking them to consider other options that do not completely destroy any chance for recovery.

Dear #academia, as a woman in a male dominated field (compt. biology) I don't need more mentors. When I don't know what to do or want opinions, I have a list of wonderful women and men that I contact for advice.
What I need is champions that will put my name forward when someone ask for an expert, a collaborator on that grant that will get funded for sure or for a conference invite.
That's what privilege gives, and I have some*, but would do with a bit more.
*I promise to give it forward

I'm currently in a one woman war with my university because I asked for my ñ to be display on my surname on their Web and they had the balls to tell me it was not "technically possible". I've never written such an outraged email faster in my life.
