"University leaders should campaign for adequate funding, rather than trying to solve their problems by attacking our members’ jobs and forcing down pay."

The flyer states that the rally will be on Tuesday 18/06 at 12pm outside RHB with speeches by Goldsmiths 4 Palestine, Students Against the Transformation Programme, Black Lives Matter UK, UCU and NEU branches, and Goldsmiths Professor Michael Rosen. In the top-left corner of the flyer, hand-written in red, it reads: "there is no Goldsmiths without the workers." The words "no" and "workers" are underlined.

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.

Inspired by the courage and unity of our colleagues @GoldsmithsUCU 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

‘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

A university that spends over £1m on private consultants seeking advice on how to sack staff it says it can't afford really needs to look at itself. Meanwhile amazing to see students & academics standing with @GoldsmithsUCU to fight for jobs. It's #notadonedeal @GoldsmithsUoL

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.
