Governors Held to Account Over Job Cuts at LMU

Students and staff of the London Metropolitan University lobbied the Chair of LMU’s Board of Governors, to protest against job cuts on Thursday 2nd July. London Met Board of Governors approved the plan to make 550 redundancies last month, refusing to consider union proposals to ease the damage done to the staff at London Met.

The protest was aimed at Peter Anwyl, Director of International Student House (ISH), who has consistently refused to meet or talk to the unions. A delegation from both UCU and UNISON went to present a letter protesting at the cuts in staff at LMU. Read more here.

The united strike day, called by UNISON and UCU and planned for Thursday 2 July to protest against job cuts at London Met was suspended the day before due to management's threatened abuse of the anti-union legislation against UNISON.
