Leeds University UCU stand in full solidarity with Goldsmiths UCU as they continue to take strike action to stop 52 redundancies. The ‘restructure’ which is being threatened is part of a pattern of financialisation across the sector, where decisions are being taken not for academic reasons but rather as a result of pressure from banks. The dispute is therefore of national significance. We have made donations of £500 from our branch account to Goldsmiths strike fund and call on our members and supporters who are able to do so to donate and to send their solidarity to the branch as well.
