USW consultative ballot opens

17 October 2018

Proposed agreement - USW Academic

Discussions about a proposed new academic model at the University of South Wales have taken place between UCU and management.

The USW Academic does not in any way change the terms of contracts of employment with the university, nor does it change any aspect of the National Framework Agreement of 2008. In fact, the national role profiles agreed as part of the NFA are those which UCU intends to use as part of this framework.

UCU have now decided to ballot members at USW with a strong recommendation for approval of the USW Academic.

If academic colleagues accept UCU's recommendation at the ballot, it is anticipated that all academics will have provided an indication of which job family they feel they best fit and have completed the Standard Academic CV by 31 January 2019 to inform the mid-year DPR discussion.

UCU is now balloting members at USW with a strong recommendation for approval of the USW Academic.

Please vote and have your say. The ballot is open until 12 noon on Friday 26 October 2018.

Any USW member who has not received the email containing the link to the ballot please contact Karen Williams.
