Defend Education: No more cuts to vital services at MMU
Management at MMU are threatening to make 168 cleaners and House Services staff redundant. These job losses are part of a ‘cost-cutting’ move by Management that will see the support services at MMU decimated.
Instead of students being taught in clean, well maintained, safe and well-staffed buildings they will be greeted by swipe card entries and buildings suffering from a lack of staff.
For those lucky enough to get one of the new jobs, they could be on less hours and less pay but expected to work harder to keep the buildings up to scratch. This is an attack on our lowest paid and most vulnerable section of workers. Management hope to isolate these staff and force through the changes.
It is changes like these that put MMU at risk, jeopardising our long term future and our ability to deliver a quality education to our students and the people of Manchester.
No more cuts at MMU
We call on Management at MMU to:
• End the rush to impose the changes
• Offer a decent Voluntary Redundancy Scheme
• Ensure that all new jobs are offered to existing staff first
• Offer real Pay Protection for redeployed staff
• Create more jobs to protect vital services
• A guarantee to at least match the hours of current staff.
We support our Campus Services workers!
