Stamp out casual contracts

Anti-casualisation organising and training event

21 October 2020

On Thursday 19 November 2-5pm and Saturday 21 November 10am-1pm we will be hosting an anti-casualisation organising and training event. The event will be held online (on MS Teams) and is aimed at members on casualised contracts who want to get involved in their union and help to campaign against casualisation. However, it is also open to any UCU members who want to campaign against the endemic use of casualised contracts in HE, FE, ACE and prisons. 

A main objective of the course is to develop your confidence to get involved in campaigning against casualisation - whether that is taking small steps such as talking to colleagues about the union, or putting up posters to developing campaigns and anti-casualisation claims in your workplace. 

We are pleased to announce that an activist from Labor Notes (a grassroots organisation working in the USA) has agreed to speak at the meeting to share their experiences of organising to win in the workplace. We will also be looking at how you can use organising tactics to campaign against casualisation in the workplace and helping you identify the steps you can take to make this happen where you work.
