A petition has been created by UCU for staff to sign. This petition is available online here. If you do not want to sign online, for whatever reason, there are plenty of opportunities to sign a hard copy of the petition.
Reps in your area should be coming round asking you if you would like to sign. There will also be a stall around the University manned by reps and officers of UCU. The petition is not just for union members to sign, non-union members and members of other campus unions are also welcome. Non-union members may also want to consider joining the union in this particularly uncertain time.

Demonstration Against the Cuts,Thursday 5 February
On Thursday 5 February a demonstration was held against job cuts at the University of Salford. This was attended by staff and students. Here is a video of the demo:
A member of staff attending the demo gave the following report:
Yesterday’s demonstration was very well attended (150-200 people), lively (stopped traffic for a short time) loud (students playing instruments) and eye-catching (many wore masks, and a coffin was carried across the road and placed outside the Old Fire Station to symbolise the potential demise of education at Salford). Staff and students spoke of their concerns about ‘Project Headroom’ and the future of education here. The chanting, music and speeches resounded around the Old Fire Station. It was an inspiring protest and gained coverage on Channel M, Key 103 radio, and a photo- report in the Salford Star.
During the coming week there will be petition stands around the University and members of staff will be coming round asking you to sign a petition against the proposed job cuts. The petition is also available on line and can be found here. Please take a moment to sign this so that the Senior Management Team can see the strength of feeling against cuts and redundancies at the University.
