OU FIRE AND REHIRE THREAT - CALL TO ACTION
Unfortunately, the Open University is refusing to back down on its threat to Fire and Rehire lecturers who won't accept a cut to pay and hours, promising only a period of ‘reflection’ over the December break.
We need your help. (1/5)

Sign the Petition Stop the Use of Fire and Rehire by the Open University!

Stop fire & rehire at the OU! “the approach taken seems focused on damaging well-being, damaging motivation, damaging relationships and damaging the OU's reputation. I don’t think they want us here - we’re certainly not valued” www.change.org/p/stop-the-use-of-fire-and-rehire-by-the-open-university
