UCU Campaign for GTAs Calling for Fair Pay, Equal Pay, Secure Pay
The University and College Union Glasgow (UCUG) is gravely concerned at the response of the university’s governing bodies to peaceful student protests relating to divestment and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The way to deal with a student occupation and hunger strike should be to engage immediately with the students whose health and wellbeing is in danger, not to refuse to call an emergency meeting of Court to discuss student demands, nor indeed to invite police on campus for three days in a row to intimidate protesters. We in UCUG have been clear that we wish to see divestment from the arms industry and a just peace in Palestine. We will also continue to vocally oppose the global crackdown on basic human rights and civil liberties on staff and students involved in the divestment and pro-Palestinian movements, especially when it happens on our campus. We call once again on the senior management group and members of Court to examine their conscience and change course.
