- Motion text
HESC reaffirms its opposition to redundancies and recognises the need for local branches/associations to engage in consultation on ways to avoid compulsory redundancies. HESC also recognises that within HE, widespread redundancies of fixed-term contract staff have been a feature of the sector for many years.
HESC calls on all local branches/associations to:
seek agreement on effective redundancy avoidance policies that apply to all staff – including those on fixed-term contracts
actively engage in consultation on ways to avoid redundancy dismissals of fixed-term contract staff
where appropriate use equality impact assessment as a tactic to avoid the dismissal of FTC staff
publicise this activity within branches as a means of recruiting and organising staff on fixed-term contracts.
HESC calls upon HEC to obtain and publicise success stories and details of tactics that have worked in opposing these redundancies.
