We will be giving members an update on local work in this area. We are also hoping to have regional/national speakers to update you on UCU campaigning from a wider perspective. This is an open meeting, so please do join us if you are on a precarious contract and/or if you would like to support your colleagues who are experiencing contract precarity. You are also welcome to invite colleagues who are non-members, so if you know someone who would like to find out more, please do pass on the meeting link.
Members can also find out more re national UCU campaigning here: https://www.ucu.org.uk/stampout

The #CoronaContract website is here: https://coronacontract.org/ ‘This website contains relevant information, actions and resources to further the #CoronaContract campaign to secure the livelihoods of casualised university and college staff.’
UCU has adopted a policy to campaign for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) to be recognised as members of staff. We are keen to discuss this with our PGR members and to hear your ideas and thoughts about the campaign.
