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

Open University lecturers in contract row - union More than 160 lecturers were asked to sign new contracts amid concerns over hours, a union says.

Shocking fire and rehire scheme at The Open University 🚨

Forcing 160 lectures to accept lower pay is unacceptable 👇
