Student Staff Solidarity

07/02/2022

Hello everyone, there are another round of UCU Strikes coming up in a few weeks time. The Students Union haven't committed to supporting the strikes, citing a lack of student support for the strikes. Now I want to prove them wrong, and I have created an open letter that can be signed by all students. Please, if you have 30 seconds to sign the form, that would really help us out.

Dear Brighton Students Union, We write this open letter to you, to ask you to support the upcoming University & Colleges Union (UCU) Industrial Action between the 21st - 22nd February & 28th - 2nd March. The signatories of this open letter feel that the staff teaching conditions are student learning...

New UCU Strike Dates announced:
21st - 22nd February
28th February - 2nd March

2nd March also coincides with an NUS Rally in London, calling for the government to introduce fully funded, accessible, life-long democraticsed university education, as well as refunding of tuition fees and dropping of future tuition. (You can read more here https://www.nus.org.uk/campaign-hub/student-strike-for-education-walk-out-teach-in?i=2)

As part of this, there will be local days of action at both Sussex and Brighton University's. As part of the national Day of action, there is a demonstration happening in London. Now, NUS is aware that transport fees are expensive, and as such are organising free coach transport to central London on the 2nd March. Just fill out the form below, and you'll be registered for the free transport.
