Solidarity with Weetabix engineers on their sixth day of strikes. With many more people at home eating breakfast during the pandemic profits at Weetabix soared!

They’ve repaid their staff, who kept production going throughout the pandemic with up to £5,000 in cuts on a ‘fire and rehire’ basis!

Strikes every Tuesday and Wednesday are currently planned all through the next two months.

5 million waiting - fund our NHS! Don't let the government use waiting lists as an excuse for more privatisation in our NHS!

• The devastating impact on staff of losing their jobs during the pandemic
• The determination of UCU Liverpool members to fight for their members

This branch further notes:
• Managers at other universities want to exploit the pandemic to make cuts
• This makes the battle for jobs at Liverpool a dispute of national importance
• It is in the interests of all workers, including us, that UCU Liverpool wins its dispute

This branch resolves:

🚨SOLIDARITY BRITISH GAS WORKERS🚨

Today, Wednesday 31 March, is British Gas boss Chris O’Shea’s cruel sign or be sacked deadline. Post your solidarity message in the comments below👇👇👇

“British Gas boss Chris O’Shea has put himself forward as the worst kind of bullying boss and he’s done it in the midst of a global pandemic. He has trampled on union rights to get his way and has caused massive distress and anxiety for the British Gas workforce and their families. The use of ‘fire and rehire’ is a callous move that shows utter disregard for the workforce. He is setting a benchmark for others employers to follow suit.

By contrast, the response of GMB members has been an admirable one. In the face of this huge attack they have stood firm in 42 days of strikes taking their message out on pickets and protests to all who would listen to their cause. If O’Shea has set a benchmark in bullying, the British Gas strikers have shown how to deal with bullies by not being cowed and fighting back—of this they should be proud. It will inspire others to do the same.

We applaud their stand and offer our continued solidarity as O’Shea’s cruel 31 March deadline is upon us.”

Solidarity from: John McDonnell MP, Karen Reissmann, Unison NEC (pc), Sarah Woolley General Secretary BFAWU, Jane Loftus CWU Vice President, Fran Heathcote, PCS President, Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Michael Rosen, author & poet, Helen McFarlane, Unite EC pc, Louise Regan, NEU national officer, Ian Hodson, BFAWU President, Carlo Morelli, UCU Scotland President.
