We don't just need 6,000 rent controlled homes. We need rent controls for all 1 million privately rented homes in our city.

It's time for the Labour party to commit to give metro mayors the power to bring the rents down.

🚨GOLDSMITHS MARKING BOYCOTT 🚨

We refuse to allow management to bulldoze through these brutal cuts.

Goldsmiths now has two weeks to stop this cultural vandalism and work with us to protect its future.

Otherwise, a marking boycott begins on 19 April. Goldsmiths UCU…

A redundancy programme threatening nearly 1/3 of academic jobs at Goldsmiths begins on 18/3/24. This represents a nation wide assault on critical, cultural, and political education. We invite the TU movement, local community, students & staff to unite in defense of HE's future

Our union @UCU thinks this could equal 𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 of all academic staff!
