UCU COMMUNICATION FROM BRYAN HAWKINS

Your UCU CCCU exec is working hard to improve your working environment.

We are moving ahead with your priorities.

Workload Planning

The current system is not fit for purpose.  UCU CCCU are negotiating an Urgent Review of WLP with HR and SMT and  with important interim decisions made by the end of this Semester.

WLP issues raised at  Branch meetings and by you through discussion and emails will be central to this review. UCU members will be directly involved. The University  can and must do better

Staff Survey

Thanks to your efforts and the UCU CCCU exec’s, UCU CCCU HR and SMT are involved in a serious discussion to develop a new approach to the SS and the poor recent results. This must not be more of the same it must involve all staff. SMT must create an Action Plan by the end of this Semester to address the problems you experience.

Disability issues, Legal Issues, Employment Rights, Early Retirement Requests, Return to Work Planning, Strong Representation in Disputes, Grievances and Investigations.
