The GUCU Hardship Fund supports members currently undertaking a Marking and Assessment Boycott to oppose Goldsmiths Senior Management Team’s (SMT) intention to make compulsory redundancies equivalent to 132 jobs. With half the academic staff now in scope and facing losing their job, SMT have chosen to retaliate with 50% deductions to pay throughout the length of the action. 

We are calling on members of the public, as well as other ucu branches and sister trade unions to donate to our fund. The more money we raise, the more confident members can be that they have the support needed to win this crucial fight. Thank you for your donations!
