Big win at OU over permanant contracts

1 August 2022

UCU has hailed a landmark win as The Open University (OU) begins rolling out a programme of new permanent contracts for 4,800 previously casualised Associate Lecturers.

Following extensive negotiations between the university and UCU, from 1 August 2022 staff will benefit from enhanced job security, a pay uplift of between 10-15%, additional annual leave, and staff development allowances. 

UCU has called on other universities across the UK to follow suit and end the scourge of casualisation.
