Saving lives at work - organising in the workplace

Throughout this pandemic UCU have been very clear - staff and student safety must be prioritised. No ifs, no buts, no half measures. When employers fail to prioritise health and safety, we must make them. 

We will discuss UCU strategy for collectively challenging employers where they are failing to provide safe working conditions, hear from UCU branches who have been involved in successful health and safety campaigns and ballots during this period, meet other UCU activists and student rent strike organisers to share tactics, and formulate ideas about how to take this struggle beyond our branches and builder a broader campaign and organise. Where we organise and fight, where we collectivise and defend ourselves, we have kept our workplaces safe.
