🚨Upcoming events next week🚨

Join us next week in a series of events, culminating in the in house-end outsourcing demonstration on 14 November, where we will call on @CityUniLondon to bring cleaning services in house.

Tell your friends, colleagues and classmates!

[UNISON @ City St George's University @CityUnison]

One more day to go until the #inhouseincity campaign rally.

Please join us as we call on @CityUniLondon to end the two-tier workforce at our university and bring cleaning staff in house.

See you there: 12pm, Tuesday 1st October, Northampton Square, EC1V 0HB 📢🚨✊

[UNISON @ City St George's University @CityUnison]

Outsourcing maintains the economic disadvantage and exploitation of people of colour and perpetuates systemic and institutional racism.

Bringing cleaners in house would be a significant equalities intervention and address racial discrimination at @CityUniLondon

‘Pockets of disorder’
‘rival protests’
‘anti-immigration protesters’
‘protesters outside a mosque’

Language that legitimises racism and Islamophobia has led us here, and the BBC continue to do a fabulous job of playing down brown and black people being targeted and battered

The EU Commission has ruled that accessibility overlays can only address a fraction of the compliance they claim and sometimes even actively harm accessibility, and that achieving accessibility & compliance can only be done through the design of the site.

TW: Racist white woman on Marylebone Hight Street waiting outside Daunt Books for us calling us Hamas supporters, saying all palestinians should be killed, we should be killed and making gun shot mimes at us. Racists emboldened. @metpoliceuk @TellMamaUK

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

500,000 workers take strike action today. They are taking on corporate and government greed and power.

RT if you back every single individual who is on the picket lines today.

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER TO RETWEET THIS

We are hearing that Vice Chancellors are asking UCU members if they plan to take strike action next week.

They have no right to do this and you do not have to answer them.

They are hitting the panic button. Stand strong.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

This week we launch a ballot of over 70,000 @UCU members across every university in the UK.

It’s the same story as elsewhere. Gross profiteering, suppressing workers pay, pension attacks and casualisation.

Our members are ready to fight.

RT if you stand with them.

👋 @JamesSBeal - just getting ahead of your dog whistle transphobic Times article on UCU and our members.

James has been hassling UCU members who back trans people - and cc’ing their employers 🐍

UCU unequivocally stands with the trans community.

RT if you are with us.

UUK is now grudgingly consulting its members after #USS agreed that UCU proposals were viable.That is very big.

Turnout next week is crucial to push employers to do the right thing. They will be watching. Do not sit this one out--it's a once in a generation last chance.

[Jessica @_j_e_s_s___]

This is good stuff!

[We're not here anymore - formerly @UoYLibrary @UoYLibrary]

We need to have a proper conversation about face-coverings because so far in 2022, not nearly enough people are wearing them in the library.

Please wear yours: if lots of our staff have to isolate, we won't have enough people to keep the building open.

[UNISON @ City St George's University @CityUnison]

Cleaners & caterers @CityUniLondon are fighting outsourcing too. They are holding a campaign rally this Thursday, 7 Oct at 12-1pm in Northampton Sq, EC1V 0HB. Please spread the word & come support if you're in the area
