LUCU works with the University on policies, procedures and practices that affect the performance and well-being of its members. We are officially recognised as the sole negotiating body for Academic and Academic Related staff. We work hard to represent members’ interests in areas such as:
- Health and Safety and Occupational Health policies and procedures
- Car parking charges
- Stress policy
- Staff Survey and its outcomes
- Departmental workload agreements
We have also contributed to national campaigns and action on issues such as
- Pensions : (USS latest news)
- Pay
As such we are keen to be involved in any institutional initiative that may affect our members’ work performance, social life and dignity. We provide support and advice to our members when they feel that they are not receiving fair, equal and respectful treatment.
