RE-INSTATE QMUL UNISON BRANCH SEC. VIK CHECHI

On 18th October, QMUL UNISON Branch Secretary Vikhas Chechi was suspended from his post at the Centre of the Cell, Queen Mary University of London.

We believe this suspension is linked to Mr Chechi’s vocal opposition to the cuts and restructuring being imposed at Queen Mary and his tireless efforts to organise campus workers and reinvigorate the local UNISON branch.

Having the trade union decapitated during a period of restructuring and redundancies would be detrimental to staff and students.

This petition calls:

1.For Mr. Chechi's reinstatement.

2.To oppose any efforts to victimise trade unionists at Queen Mary and elsewhere.

3.To send letters of protest immediately to Mr Chechi's employers demanding his immediate reinstatement and letters of support to unison@qmul.ac.uk
