UCU Member Update

UCU Campaign  to Defend Jobs & Defend Education @ Chesterfield College: Dear Colleagues , I have just spoken to Stephen Butler from HR and he has confirmed that staff within the redundancy pools will not be notified of the outcome until tomorrow : He has said that HR staff will attempt to complete  the majority of notifications in the morning . Letters to the Board Of Corporation  - I am asking that all UCU Members at risk of being sacked to write a letter to one of the Board of the Corporation. I would suggest that you outline the personal effect that these cuts will have on you and your family. Please follow link below to choose most appropriate board member for your letter . http://www.chesterfield.ac.uk/corporation-members-1 Could you please forward these to me as soon as possible , by the latest Monday morning . I am aware that for many of you this week is a very difficult time   , as you will receive notifications of redundancy or a change to your role. We intend to hold a rally outside the main entrance on Monday (Staff Development Day ) at 1.00 P.M where we will present these letters to Trevor Clay to pass onto the Corporation. We will also release a balloon for every UCU member facing the sack at Chesterfield College.  As was discussed at the Branch Meeting this is just the beginning of the process and I urge you not to be too despondent. Should you wish to contact a branch officer for advice:  Please contact – James Eaden, Allister Mactaggart, Paula Alsop, and Sam Parker. UCU will continue to negotiate with college management at CIG. And we continue to urge our principal Trevor Clay and the Board of Corporation at Chesterfield College to rethink this damaging strategy.    In Solidarity
