📢 EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING📢

We have made it clear to management that we will not take their unjust and unethical proposals lying down and we have completely demolished their credibility.

🚨 STRIKE ACTION ON THE 27 & 28 NOVEMBER 🚨

We’ve now served formal notice of strike action on 27 & 28 November.

Management must withdraw the plan to make 400+ of us redundant or risk escalating and sustained industrial action.

#Lancaster colleages, today is the last safe day to post your ballot.

A strong mandate is our best option. At many institutions, CRs were withdrawn after ballots for industrial action with high participation and strong results.

#Lancaster, we have a choice: we can give our everything to stop CRs and the collapse of @lancasteruni.bsky.social, or we can submit to Senior Management's plans and see LU crumble before our eyes. There is no second chance.

VOTE IN THE BALLOT. RECLAIM YOUR CHANCE!

What will it be like to work or study at Lancaster University, if the current plans to fire 1 out of 4 staff members are implemented? How will these impact local communities and businesses? And who will be held accountable?
Sign our petition to stop unnecessary cuts to education!
