In the Dark

I heard today that after a strike ballot, members of the Irish Federation of University Teachers at the BIMM Institute in Dublin (Francis Street, Dublin 8) will be taking industrial action from Monday 10th February in response to proposed redundancies. The proposed dates are:

• Monday, 10th February                  From 0830 to 1600
• Tuesday, 11th February                 From 0830 to 1600
• Saturday, 15th February (Open Day)  Time to be confirmed
• Wednesday, 19th February              From 0830 to 1600
• Thursday, 20th February                From 0830 to 1600

I understand the students at BIMM are organizing demonstrations in support of staff threatened with redundancy. As an IFUT member I wish to take the opportunity provided by this blog express solidarity with those taking part in industrial action and hope for a negotiated resolution to the dispute. I am not based in Dublin, so I can’t attend the picket lines in person to show support on weekdays, but I am planning to attend on Saturday 15th February. I will also be wearing my IFUT badge…
