Meet at the famous Bombed Out Church, Berry Street, Liverpool city centre
This demonstration has been called by UCU University of Liverpool and TUC Liverpool, to highlight the fight for jobs in the city, including those at the university. Fire and Rehire fights, such as Manchester bus drivers, have been won by determined action. We need to build on these and other successful union actions throughout the trade union movement, and fight for all jobs.
At the University of Liverpool, 47 teachers and researchers in the Faculty of Health & Life Sciences were due to be made redundant this summer, but industrial action by UCU members has reduced this number to 21. We are determined to save every job, through strikes, working to contract, a marking & assessment boycott, and protests.
The solidarity shown by other trade unionists and activists has been crucial to building our members’ confidence and supporting the campaign. We invite you to join us at this in-person, socially distanced demonstration through Liverpool, and help us to show the university that we will remain defiant.
Please wear a mask if you can, bring your union banners, home made placards and posters, and share this event widely with friends and colleagues.
