Dear member,
UNISON and UCU are fielding a joint slate for the
Information and Consultation Elections at the University of London. We
need your vote.
The ballot opens on Monday 7 March 2016. As this date
approaches you should expect to see your colleagues in UNISON and UCU out
campaigning on this issue. Please do come over and say hello! We would be
delighted to hear your views and will be on hand to answer any questions that
you may have.
Why is this happening?
In last year's vote 66% voted to support your union
representatives in negotiating new, comprehensive, and improved arrangements
for information and consultation at the University covering all staff. A member
of staff brought a successful appeal against this process, obliging the University
to run this current election. Your colleagues in UNISON and UCU are standing
again, and humbly request your support.
What do the UNISON/UCU candidates want to do?
UNISON and UCU are fielding a joint slate of candidates for
the following the reasons:
- Your
colleague UNISON and UCU activists are trained negotiators
who possess the skills to negotiate the best possible for deal for
all staff.
- Your
colleagues in UNISON and UCU believe that the best interests of all staff
lie in the strengthening and enhancing the
current position in relation to information and consultation under UNISON
and UCU’s status as recognised unions which the University
is mandated to negotiate with. A separate information and
consultation committee, running in parallel to current union arrangements,
will not be able to achieve any substantial achievements for staff.
- The
branch wants to continue its role in winning real improvements for all
staff over pay and conditions whilst ensuring the University, as an
employer, improves its standards in consulting and informing all staff on
issues which concern them.

document.
