Every management keeps opening VS schemes and thinking it’s ok to respond to the question “how many staff members are you looking to lose” with “no idea”. These are people’s lives. Do some planning. SEVEN HUNDRED JOBS.

🚨STRIKE🚨 If Sheffield Hallam University management do not stop the planned jobs cuts, they will face strike action We will not stand by while management tears teaching, research and academic standards to shreds UCUHallam ucu.org.uk/article/13608/…

And this is the reality of all those voluntary severance schemes:

Is the current downsizing going to make universities small enough to fail? timeshighereducation.com/depth/what-wou…

‘Academic Fit for the Future’ is a plan devised by LSBU’s current custodians to save their skins. It discards many of those who teach and research. If they’re not after you now they may come back for you in September. It’s on the plan. Unite and organise otherwise we’re all done

Inspired by the courage and unity of our colleagues Goldsmiths UCU they’re not accepting to be treated as rubbish and to get into scrambles for a place in a depleted university. #NotaDoneDeal #stopredundancies #saveHE #savehumanities

In the meantime our university is waging a war against its own staff rather than pulling us all together and leading a campaign for the value of what we do. Unbelievable.

📢URGENT: TOMORROW at Deptford Town Hall Council Chamber. SMT@GoldsmithsUoL is threatening disciplinary+legal action against occupiers. SHAME ON THEM! No wonder 99% students passed a vote of no confidence in Warden Frances Corner & team. JOIN US ALL WELCOME⤵️ #NotADoneDeal
