2. Shape the fight against precarity and casualised working – Tuesday 1st July 4-5:30pm, Arts Complex G.H01
Bristol UCU is compiling an anti-casualisation claim: a set of demands to be negotiated university management to improve conditions and job security for fixed-term, open-ended fixed term funding, and hourly paid employees.
Come and hear about our drafted claim, and let us know what demands and priorities you want to see. This will be a session based in small discussion groups, with refreshments provided (and perhaps a drink afterwards!)
Open to all members, please sign up here. For more information contact gina.walter@bristol.ac.uk.
