Please support lobby for a sacked trades unionist

Rhetta Moran is a trades unionist and researcher who has been sacked after six years working for Salford University.

Rhetta's colleagues, students, and supporters believe that she has been targeted for the chop because her research into refugee issues, covered in local and national media, was uncomfortable for the political establishment. We are asking people to spread the word about - and come to - the next NUJ support lobby. Please bring banners and placards on:
Thursday 22nd September, between 8am and 10.30am,

Faraday House, Research and Graduate College, Crescent, Salford M6 6AP
Rhetta, a member of the National Union of Journalists and the Association of University Teachers, has already attended three internal hearings about her dismissal and there will be at least one more at which the university will have the chance to right the wrongs done by reinstating her.

If you haven't already, please send an email to the vice chancellor Micheal Harloe at m.harloe@salford.ac.uk, cc rhetta.moran@ntlworld.com asking for Rhetta's reinstatement.

If you have written to Prof Harloe - but have received no reply - please send a polite reminder asking for the courtesy of a reply.

Thanks

Miles Barter
