KSA UCU members meeting on Zoom

30 June 2020 @ 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm

Across the UCU membership at Kingston there have been some really positive suggestions proposed regarding how as staff we can work to share ideas and put these forward to university management to further develop anti-racist policies. As one of the University’s recognised trade unions, we are motivated to support change and in a position to put forward concrete ideas for action.

KSA UCU reps thought this could be a good time to get together members in our faculty to share thoughts and possible actions – so we’ve  put in place an online meeting on Tuesday 30th June 4.15pm – 5.15pm* on Zoom (come for as long as you can)

Please email us for the Zoom link:

Some of the areas we could discuss are: recruitment processes, pay & promotion, health & wellbeing, harassment & discrimination, political education & training, security & surveillance, partnerships & funding, marketing, working with Unison and UKS, improving Equalities representation in the branch.

We also have the following motion (a proposal voted on, which would go to the wider branch, and into consultations with management) to discuss: Postgraduate students on Tier-4 visas

We welcome member suggestions for other agenda items. If you are not able to attend, please do contact Lucy and Maggie with suggestions and input – we are happy to talk to members on a 1-1 basis too.

It’s Your union! As a democratic organisation, the more people that get involved the stronger and more representative we are.

Hope to see you online!

 

UCU centrally have a lot of useful resources:

 

* This start time for this event was originally 4pm start but was moved back due to coming right after   Festival of Research event ‘Navigating the world of academia when no one looks like you- the lecturers’ story’
