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

ALT A flyer for the Goldsmiths UCU Strike Rally. The flyer is washed-out pink with a photocopied image of the back of the Richard Hoggart Building (RHB) in black. 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.

📢URGENT: TOMORROW at Deptford Town Hall Council Chamber.
SMT@GoldsmithsUoL is threatening disciplinary+legal action against occupiers.
SHAME ON THEM!
No wonder 99% students passed a vote of no confidence in Warden Frances Corner & team.
JOIN US ALL WELCOME⤵️

‘Any new administration would be well advised to trust academics, and work alongside them – not against them – to bring about the long-term stability that future generations of students deserve’ wonkhe.com/blogs/a-manifesto… via @wonkhe
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.
General election: Universities ‘could become key battleground’.
Universities have been warned of a tough campaign ahead of the general election on 4 July, with higher education seen as a significant battleground in the run-up to the vote.

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
📢Dear management,
This is not going away.
Extraordinary mobilisation @GoldsmithsUoL
where staff & students have occupied buildings across campus to protest management's brutal, madcap & UNNECESSARY restructure.
It's not #NotaDoneDeal
Read below 📷⬇️
‘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

Goldsmiths Management have come back to us after consultation and still plan to make many of us redundant- 133 people. But it is #notadonedeal. Ways to support us. 1. Make a noise! Join this mornings Twitterstorm 2. Donate here to the support fund goldsmithsucu.org/2024/03/25…

📣Good morning:
Deptford Town Hall’s Council Chamber is NOW OCCUPIED because SMT refuse to stop the unnecessary cull of jobs as part of a move to destroy the arts and humanities.
Listen to this @GoldsmithsUoL student's call for direct action and solidarity!
Please share ✊⤵️

Deptford Town Hall’s Council Chamber is now occupied in opposition to management’s Transformation Programme and the planned *130* redundancies. 1/5
One of the great sociologists that worked at LSBU
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.
