Vote Aris Prevost for Cardiff president: Stop uni job cuts - Socialist Party With the 400 job cuts announced at Cardiff university, I’ve decided to run for student union president.

John Williams from the socialist party giving full support to the demo organised by Cardiff students against the cuts. He’s also a member of Unite. Here his speech on why it’s vital the trade union movement back the student fightback over 400 job cuts and the proposals to shut down the cardiff school of nursing. But also demanding a bold socialist political alternative to organise young people, students and workers.

Speech 5/9 from our rally last Wednesday. Thank you so much to John from Unite for speaking, the importance of solidarity between workers and students (though, in hospitality, that venn diagram is almost a circle) cannot be overstated. P.S if you're a student working on bar, on floor, or in a kitchen, @unitetheunion is the place to be :) #cardiffstudentsagainstcuts #cardiffuniversity #unitetheunion #highereducation

Cardiff has made it onto the back page of this weeks copy of this weeks socialist! A revolutionary party has a paper to discuss with the working class and to build support for our programme. To help build the confidence and socialist consciousness of all we meet. We don’t just read and discuss. That’s important- but like this copy shows, we go out on the streets to test our ideas in campaigns.

We’ve also been campaigning on the streets in cardiff and giving our full support for demonstrations called by students and lecturers against 400 job losses and cuts to courses. We need to kick big business out of universities. Scrap tuition fees and take the wealth from the richest in society to fully fund education.

Socialist Party and Cardiff Socialist Students campaigning stall today in solidarity with lecturers and students who are reeling over the planned 400 job losses and cuts to courses at Cardiff Uni- including nursing! We say no to all cutbacks- use the £181m in reserves to stop £31m in cuts. And the vice chancellor shouldn’t be on £290,000 a year.

Socialist Party Wales calls for a mass campaign of university workers, students, trade unions and students to demand:

No job losses, no course closures at Cardiff University

The university board to use available reserves to plug the current gap and demand sufficient funding from the UK government to maintain courses and departments at Cardiff University

Open the books at Cardiff University to see where the income is being spent and the investments made

End the commercialisation of university education – return it to a public service rather than a profit-making business

Democratise the university. For a board to be elected by university workers, students, the local community and trade unions. And for the vice-chancellor to be on the same wage as a head of department.

Proper funding for all universities, take the wealth off the super-rich

Eliminate tuition fees, and reintroduce maintenance grants for all

End low pay, job cuts, and ‘casualisation’ of higher education workers

Funding Not Fees
