The far right has been emboldened but they have nothing to offer Angry about wage stagnation, cuts to our public services, cost of living and housing? We need unity, not racist slogans and victimising of our neighbours The real problem: greedy bosses and billionaires

OU FIRE AND REHIRE THREAT - CALL TO ACTION Unfortunately, the Open University is refusing to back down on its threat to Fire and Rehire lecturers who won't accept a cut to pay and hours, promising only a period of ‘reflection’ over the December break. We need your help. (1/5)

Stop fire & rehire at the OU! “the approach taken seems focused on damaging well-being, damaging motivation, damaging relationships and damaging the OU's reputation. I don’t think they want us here - we’re certainly not valued” www.change.org/p/stop-the-use-of-fire-and-rehire-by-the-open-university
