Call to Action! Monday 5 June 2023

Calling all UWE UCU and UCU Bristol members and supporters.  On the evening of Monday the 5th June 2023 the Vice Chancellors of both UWE Bristol and University of Bristol are hosting an event that asks –  What does the future of higher education look like in Bristol?

Without addressing (in)equality pay gaps, ending the reliance on insecure contracts, reducing excessive workload and ensuring fair pay in line with years of pay erosion there will be no future for Higher Education in Bristol.

We will be holding a demonstration in our continued campaign for better workplace conditions.

University working conditions are Student learning conditions!!!

Assemble 17:30 – Corner of St George Street and Hill Street BS1 5RR
Demonstrate 17:45 – 18:30 Outside St Georges Bristol, Great George Street

Members and Supporters are encouraged to stick around for a solidarity & wellbeing session venue TBC

Please share widely with your Trade Union, Campaign and Student groups.
