🚨 @UCL and CH&CO TARGET CATERING STAFF WITH COMPULSORY REDUNDANCIES - A THREAD 🧵
(1/6) @UCL and their subcontractor @chandco have announced 8 redundancies among catering and hospitality staff.
Support the Catering Staff: Share this 🧵 to show UCL we won’t let this happen!
Look at the beautiful programme of teach-outs we have coming up this week and next! Kicking off with @trillingual and @scalderonharker tomorrow evening.
#ucuRISING
Today committee voted to seek @ucu permission to ballot members for local strike action over compulsory redundancies that remain on the table. We can't stand for the heavy-handed intimidatory tactics of @BirkbeckUoL pushing colleagues into 'voluntary' severance. #UCUrising
Solidarity with colleagues at Birkbeck facing compulsory redundancy. The UK HE sector is completely disfuctional. You and your students deserve better. @BirkbeckUoL@BirkbeckUCU
A new 📩message arrives from above: 4 of us need to resign, die or get sacked. Other departments are receiving their equivalents. So, we are at the depressing endgame that @BirkbeckUoL SMT have engineered. Awful.

Well said! "We strongly believe, Birkbeck will benefit more from a longer-term strategy based on its existing strength – academic excellence and its distinct brand" 👏👏👏👏 #SaveBirkbeck @BBKFMACSResists @SaveBirkbeck@savebbkgeo@SOSBBKPsySoc
This picture shows so much. It’s a decade of friendship that has resulted in 5 BAs, 5 MAs, a PhD, a partial PhD, 3 potential PhDs - all at BBK. For varied reasons we all needed a chance and BBK gave it to us. BBK is the people in this picture and those who aren’t. #SaveBirkbeck
@GraceHalden Sad to read this. It's a travesty that Birkbeck is treating staff in this callous way while continuing to invest in expensive buildings and white elephant projects. Heartfelt solidarity to you and to all @savebbkgeo@BirkbeckUCU@SaveBirkbeck
