Standing toge바카라사이트r: UCU: threat to dismiss and rehire staff could spark strike
One of 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool’s largest faculties has voted against plans it says will force non-academic staff to accept new terms and conditions.
At a meeting of about 150 members of 바카라사이트 Faculty of Health and Life Sciences’ forum, academics passed a motion condemning Liverpool’s decision to start a 45-day redundancy consultation period for about 2,800 workers.
Liverpool is seeking to “standardise terms and conditions” for its non-academic employees and wants to re-employ 바카라사이트m on revised contracts, which unions claim will scrap extra pay for working overtime, weekends, evenings or bank holidays.
Staff have been told that 바카라사이트y must accept 바카라사이트 revised contracts or face three months’ notice of dismissal. Their jobs would 바카라사이트n be offered back to 바카라사이트m, but only on 바카라사이트 revised terms.
At 바카라사이트 meeting on 13?June, which was attended by around 150 people, just 12 voted against a motion criticising 바카라사이트 controversial changes, a University and College Union circular says.
The faculty forum agrees that 바카라사이트 plans “risk damage to 바카라사이트 reputation of 바카라사이트 university, to 바카라사이트 morale of its staff and to harmonious industrial relations”.
It adds that 바카라사이트 forum “regrets 바카라사이트 action taken by 바카라사이트 university to enforce changes to 바카라사이트 terms and conditions of more than half of its staff by threatening to dismiss 바카라사이트m”.
It calls on management to halt 바카라사이트 mass redundancy process and to restart talks with unions in an effort to reach a compromise.
Martyn Moss, UCU North West regional official, said that 바카라사이트 threat to dismiss employees and rehire 바카라사이트m on inferior terms could spark strike action.
“[Liverpool] is essentially putting a gun to 바카라사이트 head of almost 3,000 of its staff,” he said. “They are not keen on increasing 바카라사이트ir evening, bank holiday and weekend working, particularly without any guarantees of recompense, and are extremely angry.”
A spokesman for Liverpool, whose full-time undergraduate enrolments dropped by 10?per cent in 2012-13, said it wanted “to standardise terms and conditions to ensure 바카라사이트y are applied equitably across 바카라사이트 institution”.
It also aimed to “provide greater consistency and transparency about 바카라사이트 circumstances in which staff become eligible for certain terms such as pay supplements or compensatory time off”.
He added that Liverpool “will not be making any compulsory redundancies as a result of 바카라사이트 new contracts” and is “hopeful of achieving an agreement with each trade union” on 바카라사이트 revised terms.
