 Such sad news to hear of the untimely passing of @UCU President-Elect, Nit Sanghera. Rest In Power. UCU's week of action against workplace racism is 10-15 February. It's 2020 and black and minority ethnic education staff are still less likely to hold senior jobs and are paid less than their white colleagues. Our union is taking action to challenge the race pay gap: www.ucu.org.uk/action-against-workplace-racism One of our highlights of last year was the inspiring campaign which stopped an attack on pay and conditions at Nottingham College. To celebrate their success we've published a special 2020 calendar with images celebrating the creativity and determination of our members. |
UCU and the employers' representatives UCEA met on Friday for further talks seeking to resolve the dispute over pay, casualisation, equality and workloads. Progress is being made and the talks will continue with a further date to be agreed shortly. It is with absolute pleasure I announce the inaugural migrant members' annual conference will be held on Thurs 27 Feb at @ucu HQ. Five January dates have been set for meetings to look at reforming the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS)... Important news today for members in our USS dispute: |
