Dear students,

As members of the University and College Union, @ucu, we have unfortunately had to take the very difficult decision to strike on Monday February 22 and Tuesday February 23 2021. We are striking because UEL plans to make four members of academic staff compulsorily
redundant, beginning next Tuesday. These staff include 3 @UEL_EduandCmty lecturers: Prof @Andrews77Molly Prof @Gargi_at_home @CorinneSquire and @jilldanielsfilm. The 4 staff who are made redundant also include the Chair and Vice Chair of our @ucu branch.
This year @UEL_News saw 6% student increase yet it has pushed out 88 staff through voluntary redundancy; workloads for remaining staff are very large, at a time when our students need more support, not less.

#onlineclasses was just one of a number of demands @UCUHallam made of @sheffhallamuni but we have more. 👇

1) campus MUST be made safe for essential #f2f classes. It FAILED our H&S inspections. We've reported breaches to @H_S_E #CampusCovid 1/
2) provide clarity and consistency for Sem2 teaching. Flipflopping each week increases staff & student anxiety/confusion and improves NOTHING #MoveOnline #StayOnline 2/
3) stop #workload intensification. Staff are on their knees. How can we plan/teach online+f2f+both simultaneously, hold smaller classes, provide 1-2-1 support, drop-ins. We were exhausted by extra workload BEFORE #Covid. This is unsustainable. Something has to give! 3/
