On 18th October, QMUL UNISON Branch Secretary Vikhas Chechi was suspended from his post at the Centre of the Cell, Queen Mary University of London.   We believe this suspension is linked to Mr Chechi’s vocal opposition to the cuts and restructuring being imposed at Queen Mary and his tireless efforts to organise campus workers and reinvigorate the local UNISON branch.   Having the trade union decapitated during a period of restructuring and redundancies would be detrimental to staff and students. 


This petition calls:


1.For Mr. Chechi's reinstatement. 


2.To oppose any efforts to victimise trade unionists at Queen Mary and elsewhere. 


3.To send letters of protest immediately to Mr Chechi's employers demanding his immediate reinstatement and letters of support to [email protected]

In solidarity,

QMUL UNISON

I am honestly overwhelmed by the response this petition has received. This momentum belongs entirely to you and your commitment to supporting Vik. It is clear that so many people care about justice on this campus.

I am looking at the screen and honestly struggling to believe that one hundred people have already signed this. This simple act of solidarity shows that you all truly care about fairness on our campus. I never could have expected this response and I just want to say how deeply humbled I am by your support.

I am truly overwhelmed by the messages of support that keep arriving for this cause. It is clear that this is about far more than just one person and I am humbled to be part of the community you have built here.

Uni management always does this when they want to push thru unpopular cuts. They want us quiet but it wont work.

Such a joke. Vik has done more for staff morale than the higher ups ever have.

This is clearly about silencing anyone who speaks up against management. Totally disgraceful move by the uni.

BRING VIK BACK NOW. He actually fights for the people who do the real work around here.
