5/ With possible local action ahead against another round of redundancies, it’s especially important we show our strength as a branch by getting this ballot over the threshold.

4/That’s why a strong YES/YES vote with turnout well above 50% is crucial. It shows Goldsmiths SMT & Council — and the national employer + Labour govt — that our union is organised and ready to fight for a new funding model and better pay & conditions for all university workers.

We must push back against the narrative that more cuts will do anything but damage our institution. But we’ve fought off restructures before, and we can do it again — and better.

Beyond horrific that we’re here again. Too many colleagues have lost their jobs to pay for top-down mismanagement, while the same people keep making the same disastrous decisions. Once again, Campus Connect showed how unserious and unstrategic management’s plans are.
