Join our first Open Air Branch Meeting on Wednesday 2^nd March at 1pm Penrhyn Road main entrance picket and on Zoom (see linktr.ee/kingstonucu for link)

We will be following the example of other universities during strike action and holding our branch meeting outdoors!

The meeting will be held to discuss each of the Four Fights, specifically to gather your experiences, suggestions, and action points from our members to pursue the Four Fights here at Kingston.

The Four Fights are:

1. Equality and ending the gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps in the university sector
2. Workload crisis that is damaging colleagues’ mental and physical wellbeing
3. Casual and fixed-term contracts leading to insecure jobs
4. Pay which has decreased by 20% in real terms over the last 10 years

The fifth agenda item is:

1. Oppressive management tactics at other universities – update on some of the punitive and anti-union measures taken at other universities and how we can act collectively to support colleagues across the UK.

All branch members are welcome! Remember you have the right to attend union meetings regardless of industrial action!
