11149445_10153238927169726_91918810770007463_nStaff and students alike have been shocked by the Vice-Chancellor's recent announcement of further imminent widespread redundancies planned for both academic staff and professional service departments. We believe that these cuts threaten the future survival of London Met as we know it. Our concern is shared by many outside the university and we believe that our campaign to stop these cuts can galvanise wide support in the larger community.
That's why we've organised a public meeting "Hands Off London Met: Defend Jobs-Defend Education" at London Met on Tuesday 28th April.
The meeting will take place at 6:30pm in Room TM1-83 of the Tower Building of North Campus on Holloway Rd. The meeting will be addressed by
  • Jeremy Corbyn MP,
  • Liz Lawrence {President of UCU},
  • Jon Rogers {UNISON National Executive Committee},
  • Aaron Kiely {London Met student and National Union of Students National Executive Committee} and
  • Sean Vernell {UCU National Executive Committee}.
The meeting is open to members of the community and we expect attendees from other HE institutions within London.We strongly urge all UNISON members within London Met to come along to the meeting. We attach a PDF copy of a flyer for the meeting, please print and distribute to as many of your colleagues as possible.

PLEASE FWD - SPREAD THE WORD
