Warwick UCU Update: November

Over the past couple of months Warwick UCU has continued to work hard in supporting staff through consultations, both individual and collective, as part of the Warwick Transformations project.

As the whole university sector undergoes a time of financial stress, we are pushing the university for clearer communications on its situation, which we hope to see soon. 

Warwick UCU continues to work on the implementation of a new framework for Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), and there have been changes implemented around allowances for training time with more changes planned for the coming year. 

We have also polled our members to get a sense of what their priorities are moving forward, and engaged in regional and national meetings in order to make members’ voices heard. Issues such as pay, casualisation, workload and visa costs were named as some of the most pressing priorities. 

Warwick UCU could always use involvement from its members, even if you only have five minutes a week to spare. Please contact Becks – membership@warwickucu.org.uk – if you’d like to be involved with any of our initiatives and committees. No experience required.
