safety - university reduces security
WORKERS, JULY 2005 ISSUE
Within days of two incidents where staff at the University of Greenwich were subjected to an intruder brandishing a knife, physical threats and property being stolen, the university has announced proposals to reduce the number of security staff.
In a supremely cynical and uncaring manner, the university is presenting staff and students with a consultative exercise on the replacement of people with CCTV cameras. The exercise is solely about cost cutting across the several campus locations which make up the University of Greenwich, and is being opposed in a co-ordinated campaign by all the unions on the campus.
