Goldsmiths staff on indefinite strike over £22 million cuts

Running time: 3 mins 38 secs

Goldsmiths UCU members have taken the historic step of declaring an indefinite strike after management escalated their war on staff by introducing an outrageous 100% pay deduction.

University bosses are attempting to break staffs’ marking and assessment boycott by completely cutting off the income of workers who are fighting to save their jobs. Management’s “Future Goldsmiths” restructuring plan puts 269 academic and professional services jobs – 1 in 5 of the workforce – at risk of redundancy to make cuts worth £22 million.

The attack on Goldsmiths is an attack on the entire higher education sector. It cannot be allowed to succeed. Donate to their fighting fund at https://goldsmithsucu.org/support-fund/ and join Goldsmiths staff and students on the picket line!
