Current news:

HERA-Appeals are being heard, but at the request of DUCU, these are being treated with anonymity which
is putting the union side at a disadvantage in the final appeal stage as management know the identity of the appellant.Estates are heading towards being included but due to problems this is going to be a long haul.

REDUNDANCY PROCEDURE-Problems have arisen with UNISON over the wording in one area. Our
Regional Officer recommended that we should always try to get enhanced terms but UNISON want everyone
to get the same deal which would mean the minimum for everyone.

 

PENSIONS PROPOSALS-The Trustees have asked the University for permission to simplify the age at which
a person can retire without loss of benefit.

 

FACILITY TIME FOR TRADE UNION DUTIES-UNITE feels that sitting on committees be recognised as a
requirement and reasonable time be allocated for preparation and attendance. Agreementin principal has
been received from LJC but so far no action.

EARLY DISPUTE RESOLUTION originated as a management initiative and still remains largely so but one
of the UNITE group representatives is a member of this group.

AGM -This will be on Monday 12^th December. Mrs Lynda Connelly will represent the Branch.
