International Workers Day Solidarity Campaign!

✊🌍For International Workers Day let’s stand together in solidarity as casualised and permanent staff.✊🌍 Demand a #CoronaContract for casualised staff and update your email signature to the below:

I support the #CoronaContract campaign for 2 years secure employment for all casualised university and college workers, endorsed by UCU’s HEC (coronacontract.org). Permanent members of staff should not be asked to cover work previously assigned to casualised colleagues who have been laid off during this crisis.

Here’s a template email you can send to your permanent colleagues to get them to join us:

Dear [colleague],

I hope you are keeping safe and healthy during these difficult times. As you may know, I work on a casualised contract, and our university has failed to secure my employment during this crisis. This hurts all of us by putting livelihoods at risk and increasing workload. The grassroots #CoronaContract campaign, endorsed by UCU’s HEC, has asked all staff to update their email signatures in order to help pressure our universities to treat us fairly and secure our livelihoods. Would you consider changing your email signature to the below?
