Dear colleagues and comrades,
\nApologies for this mass email. My name is Jordan, I\u2019m a fixed-term postdoctoral researcher at Birkbeck, UCU member and one of the organisers of the #CoronaContract campaign to secure the livelihoods of precarious university staff during this crisis.
\nWill you please consider sharing this email with your members and relevant lists?
\nOur open letter has gathered over 1000 signatures and counting, and we were recently featured in a Guardian article calling out universities\u2019 shameful treatment of casualised workers.
\nThis Thursday at 7pm we will be hosting a #CoronaContract webinar, featuring UCU President Elect Vicky Blake and a host of inspiring anti-casualisation organisers. We\u2019ll discuss the background to our campaign and the practical ways we\u2019re going to exert pressure on our universities, unions, and the wider public in order to secure our livelihoods during this crisis and beyond. Please\u00a0join us by registering here..<\/a>.
\nIn order for our campaign to succeed we need to get the word out as much as possible. Please join us on the webinar, follow and RT us on Twitter @CoronaContract, and\u00a0sign our open letter.<\/a>
\nIn solidarity,
\nJordan<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Please find below a mailing from the #CoronaContract campaign.
