Dear Members,

We are writing to you regarding UCU action to defend jobs at risk of redundancy at Solent University.  The University has put 18.5% of its staff at risk of redundancy, with plans to make 109 staff redundant (9.2%) with dismissal letters planned to be sent just before Christmas.  Solent UCU regards these cuts as an existential threat to the future of the University and is fighting to defend jobs and defend education.  UCU has entered a trade dispute with Solent University regarding the proposed redundancies.

Please check for your unique ballot email: University and College Union – Vote now: mass redundancies at Solent University – sent out on Thursday, 26 November 2020.

Solent UCU encourages all UCU members at Solent University to use their vote.

This ballot closes at midday on 2 December 2020.  We will notify members of the result as soon as possible after the ballot has closed.

In Solidarity,
Solent UCU
