Show your support - stop job cuts!
(COPIED FROM www.ucubournemouth.blogspot.com)
We are calling on all staff & students to join a protest vigil
3-4pm Tuesday 9th October 2007
Outside Poole House on the Talbot Campus
Placards will be waved, badges worn and a balloon release will take place (release at 4pm). Please make every effort to come and support!
110 members of staff attended their UCU Branch meeting yesterday (Wednesday 3rd October), with many more messages of appologies from members who were teaching.
UCU members voted their unanimous agreement to two motions:
1. This branch condemns the compulsory redundancy of 50 academic staff without reservation and demands their withdrawal immediately.
2. This branch empowers its committee to call a vote of no confidence in the UEG’s actions when the time is appropriate; and to ballot on taking industrial action and/or action short of a strike in protest at the redundancies.
I'll be there!
