The private equity fund that manages BIMM is pulling a classic tactic of firing workers and forcing them to reapply for paltry wages, refusing from the jump to engage with IFUT. Workers are determined to strike until these changes are reversed and everyone should come out and support them.".
[07:41] Music college BIMM and its link to TU Dublin
Music college BIMM on Dublin's Francis Street has a strong reputation but the fact it is a private college linked to TU Dublin may come as news to many of its students, writes Emma O Kelly.

Industrial Action at BIMM Dublin
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:
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…
One of my kids is making signs to protest this morning in solidarity with their lecturers in the #BIMM music school in Dublin.
Neoliberalism kicking in as they've begun lunatic plans to cut one-third of lecturer jobs and force all lecturers to reapply for their jobs on lower wages.
Background: BIMM was acquired by Intermediate Capital Group in 2020 who've begun to transform it from a vibrant city-centre cultural hub to a sweated degree mill.
