On Thursday 16 August 2024, Goldsmiths UCU reached a negotiated end to our recent dispute with Goldsmiths SMT.
Included in this agreement was a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies for staff who remained at risk of redundancy as a result of the Transformation Programme; maintaining the Associate Lecturer budget for academic year 2024/25 at the level of academic year 2023/24; a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies in academic year 2024/25 for all staff; and a commitment to work with GUCU on delivering mutually-agreed equality and diversity issues. In return for these commitments GUCU agreed to end our dispute, lifting the marking and assessment boycott and halting planned industrial action for the 2024/2025 academic year, which included an indefinite strike from September 2024.
See GUCU Statement on Closing Current Dispute and Bin the TP for an overview of resources and information about Goldsmiths UCU’s opposition to the the Transformation Programme.
It is therefore with great sadness and anger that we share this report on the forced disappearance of Claudia Uruchurtu, a campaigner against municipal corruption in Oaxaca Mexico.
