LUCU works with the University on policies, procedures and practices that affect the performance and wellbeing of its members. We are officially recognised as the sole negotiating body for Academic and Academic Related staff. We work hard to represent members' interests in areas such as:
- Health and Safety and Occupational Health policies and procedures
- Car parking
- Procedures for the use of VDUs
- Stress policy
- Alcohol policy
- Departmental workload agreements
We have also contributed to national campaigns and action on issues such as
- Changes to our pension scheme
- Tuition fees increases
- Pay and job security
As such we are keen to be involved in any institutional initiative that may affect our members’ work performance, social life and dignity. We provide support and advice to our members when they feel that they are not receiving fair, equal and respectful treatment.
