Goldsmiths, University of London Frances Corner stop making 472 staff redundant! approx 75% BAME staff, in the middle of a pandemic? Has management spoken to Goldsmiths UCU or staff affected about alternatives to job cuts such as pay cuts for senior managers? #Saveourjobs #fundthefuture
Why is Goldsmiths, University of London SMT refusing to meet with casualised staff about the 472 jobs that have been laid off? Is it coz they can't in good faith say they care about combatting racism when many of those sacked are BAME staff? We are all ears Frances Corner #saveourjobs Träger Warning 🇵🇸🇸🇩 ☭

Open letter Goldsmiths, University of London Communications team, in solidarity with our colleagues Träger Warning 🇵🇸🇸🇩 ☭ Goldsmiths UCU GOLDSMITHS ANTI RACIST ACTION ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽. Until clear demands are met by SMT Frances Corner, we do not want our work used to obfuscate this struggle & the devastating effects of inequality #saveourjobs
The first of our #3demands - extend our contracts at least until October 31st! Goldsmiths UCU is meeting Goldsmiths, University of London senior management later today - help amplify our demands by taking part in our virtual picket!
Solidarity to the workers taking wildcat action & Träger Warning 🇵🇸🇸🇩 ☭ at Goldsmiths today ✊ Goldsmiths, University of London are planning to lay off 472 casualised workers - 75% PoC - and refusing to negotiate directly with them at a vital meeting today. The college should meet their #3demands (1/4)
The third of our #3demands is in some ways the most important - we want real negotiation, not stonewalling and evasion. GUCU officers are in a meeting with Goldsmiths, University of London SMT now but casualised staff have only been invited to give our "lived experience". #LetUsIn
Parents on the picket, knowing whole families suffer. Peggy and KB, here in solidarity with AL Kika & asking Goldsmiths, University of London to #letusin the meeting room to be part of the solution: #3demands 1) extended contracts 2) clarity 3) negotiations #wearegoldsmiths
