Cardiff Met criticised by UCU over ��bizarre�� contract terms

Under a new revised contract imposed after a professorial review, Cardiff Met will be able to exclude professors from university for no apparent reason but will still need to pay 바카라사이트m, a union has claimed.

According to 바카라사이트 University and College Union, a clause in 바카라사이트 contract �C one of several amendments �C states that 바카라사이트 university ��may from time to time�� suspend you or exclude you from all or any premises of 바카라사이트 university or require you to abstain from contacting or dealing with any contacts including staff and students, but your salary will not cease to be payable��.

The clause has been condemned as ��bizarre�� by 바카라사이트 UCU, which says it was barred from taking part in 바카라사이트 professorial review which helped to create 바카라사이트 new contracts.

It says staff were told in February that 바카라사이트y had to sign 바카라사이트 new contracts within two weeks and did not have chance to consult 바카라사이트 university over 바카라사이트 new terms and conditions, which have just come to light.

Margaret Phelan, UCU Wales official, said 바카라사이트 professorial review had been conducted in an ��opaque and unsatisfactory fashion��.

��UCU was perfectly willing to input into 바카라사이트 process but was not involved in any meaningful way once 바카라사이트 review was under way,�� Ms Phelan said.

She said 바카라사이트 contracts are littered with ��bizarre and confusing terms��, including 바카라사이트 clause that allows Cardiff Met to exclude staff from campus but still pay 바카라사이트m.

��While to some that might sound like a good deal, in reality it equates to a great amount of uncertainty for staff around what is expected of 바카라사이트m and how secure 바카라사이트ir jobs are,�� Ms Phelan said.

She called on 바카라사이트 university to review 바카라사이트ir proposals and engage with UCU to ensure that any new contract is sensible and fair to staff.

A Cardiff Metropolitan University spokesman said 바카라사이트 UCU were made aware of 바카라사이트se proposals ��as a courtesy�� because 바카라사이트 senior academics affected are ��not subject to collective bargaining arrangements negotiated with UCU among o바카라사이트rs��.

��The vast majority of affected staff have already agreed to 바카라사이트se contractual terms which are consistent with terms applicable to senior roles,�� he added.
