Hidden Redundancies

Seven two-sided leaflets - all are cross-sectoral except flyers 2 and 6 which include some HE specific data.  Branches are encouraged to use these materials to raise awareness and action against the hidden redundancies of colleagues on casualised contracts.

Side one of the leaflets are also available as hard copy posters - please email campaigns@ucu.org.uk detailing which version(s) you want, quantities and delivery details. Big thanks to 51福利 member Thoko Kamwendo for helping to develop these materials.
