@AzizFndn @GoldsmithsUoL And yet they are making redundant the only British Muslim female academic who has been at @GoldsmithsUoL for 3yrs & is internationally recognised for her research with British Muslim women...

Great piece co-written by precarious academics on marking boycott at @GoldsmithsUoL #saveourjobs and back our #3demands theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Guardian article: My university plans to lose 500 casual staff – so I'm refusing to mark exams | Anonymous theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"The uni isn’t even treating them as redundancies which is what they really are, because there is work to be done" Why time didn't allow for official dispute & power of subsequently "wildcat" marking boycott @CleanersFor @ucusolidarity bit.ly/2Voikqd

Parents on the picket, knowing whole families suffer. Peggy and KB, here in solidarity with AL Kika & asking @GoldsmithsUoL to #letusin the meeting room to be part of the solution: #3demands 1) extended contracts 2) clarity 3) negotiations #wearegoldsmiths

Shocking that staff are picking up the bill for covid! Please support casualised Goldsmiths academics fighting mass layoffs #3demands #livedexperience #wearegoldsmiths #reclaimradicalgoldsmiths

The third of our #3demands is in some ways the most important - we want real negotiation, not stonewalling and evasion. GUCU officers are in a meeting with @GoldsmithsUoL SMT now but casualised staff have only been invited to give our "lived experience". #LetUsIn

@GoldsmithsUoL @FCorner SMT want our #livedexperience as precarious workers. I've been on six contracts at three universities in five years. #LetUsIn so we can negotiate for our #3demands including contract extensions for all casualised staff!

Solidarity to the workers taking wildcat action & @CleanersFor at Goldsmiths today ✊ @GoldsmithsUoL are planning to lay off 472 casualised workers - 75% PoC - and refusing to negotiate directly with them at a vital meeting today. The college should meet their #3demands (1/4)

@FCorner @GoldsmithsUoL #livedexperience precariousatgold.wordpress.com/2020/06/26/liv… via @wordpressdotcom

The first of our #3demands - extend our contracts at least until October 31st! @GoldsmithsUCU is meeting @GoldsmithsUoL senior management later today - help amplify our demands by taking part in our virtual picket!

Open letter @GoldsmithsUoL Communications team, in solidarity with our colleagues @CleanersFor @GoldsmithsUCU @GoldAntiRacism. Until clear demands are met by SMT @FCorner, we do not want our work used to obfuscate this struggle & the devastating effects of inequality #saveourjobs

Bruno's not happy about it and neither should you be #saveourjobs @GoldsmithsUoL @FCorner

Faculty at the Department of Politics and International Relations stand in full solidarity with our associate lecturers and all precariously employed workers @GoldsmithsUoL who face being sacked by @FCorner / #SaveOurJobs #ReclaimRadicalGoldsmiths with @CleanersFor @GoldsmithsUCU

Goldsmiths staff ‘at breaking point’ on job losses and racism claims @FCorner @GoldsmithsUoL timeshighereducation.com/news/goldsmith… via @timeshighered

472 Fixed Term Contract/ Associate Lecturers & GraduatrTutors are to be sacked @GoldsmithsUoL @FCorner. We are our students' course designers, PhD supervisors, workshop leaders, welfare tutors & more. Please retweet our virtual picket! #saveourjobs

I'm one of the BAME casualised teaching staff @GoldsmithsUoL is sacking this summer along with >400 others, @FCorner how do you think refusing to meet with boycotting staff/ @CleanersFor tallies with your commitment to anti-racism? #saveourjobs #toxicgoldsmiths

@GoldsmithsUoL @FCorner stop making 472 staff redundant! approx 75% BAME staff, in the middle of a pandemic? Has management spoken to @GoldsmithsUCU or staff affected about alternatives to job cuts such as pay cuts for senior managers? #Saveourjobs #fundthefuture

Why is @GoldsmithsUoL SMT refusing to meet with casualised staff about the 472 jobs that have been laid off? Is it coz they can't in good faith say they care about combatting racism when many of those sacked are BAME staff? We are all ears @FCorner #saveourjobs @CleanersFor
