UCU National demonstartion in support of sacked Halesowen trade unionists


Halesowen trade unionists sacked

David Muritu (Branch Secretary of lecturers' union UCU at Halesowen College) and three other UCU activists including the branch LGBT rep, have now been dismissed from their jobs as Maths Lecturers at Halesowen College.  The College failed to follow their own disciplinary procedure or ACAS guidelines; evidence provided did not, by their own admission, support an accusation of misconduct.

Dudley TUC urges all delegates and active trade unionists to support this vital demonstration of trade union solidarity with our sacked colleagues:
assemble 9.30am  for 10.45am march - coincides with the College's open-day
  •  Thursday 24th January 1pm UCU rally outside Halesowen College in support of David Muritu whose appeal is being heard.
There is an online petition at http://wolvestuc.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e33c9c7aae48a81d423f2506c&id=8b3b37dd21&e=29551db210 which is very close to an amazing 12,000 signatures.  
  • UCU members voted unanimously to ballot for strike action; the ballot is now underway and will be concluded by 25th January
Latest campaign info is on the UCU union's website here..... where you can download flyers
