Defend My Mate Rhetta Moran
A friend of mine is in some trouble so I want your help.
When I was targetted by fascists last year she came to my aid. Now she has been targetted by her former employer in what is a key issue for all of us, so I'm asking everyone to help Rhetta out just like she helped me.
Rhetta, an active trade unionist, was removed from her job at the University of Salford. Her supporters believe this happened after the findings of her research project appeared to prove politically uncomfortable.
Rhetta is a specialist in the difficulties experienced by people seeking asylum. Her excellent work has led to this issue being highlighted by BBC TV's Newsnight and in The Observer and The Guardian.
So what's happening with Rhetta?
Well, she represented herself at her Employment Tribunal hearings last year - and now her former employer have taken the vindictive and unusual act of applying for costs against her.
This affects you too. Imagine if any time you felt you'd been sacked unfairly that you felt you couldn't challenge it because the employers might apply for costs if you lost. It is a deterrent to all working people from exercising our rights.
So here's what you can do.
Remember, Rhetta Moran is my mate. She helped me when I was in trouble. Please do the same for her.
If we can get the University of Salford to back off, it will be a victory for all of us, not just Rhetta.
