- Motion text
Because we need to look beyond the Fixed-Term Regulations to improve the security and stability of staff on fixed-term funding, this Congress calls on the National Executive Committee to work with the Anti-casualisation Committee to launch a more comprehensive and multi-pronged campaign, including by:
Changing the way staff and projects are managed by universities so that contracts are not specifically linked to fixed-term funding;
Challenging funders' discrimination and short-termism;
Using employment tribunals to challenge redundancy on the basis of expiry of fixed-term funding;
Campaigning against poor implementation of redeployment procedures;
Ensuring that all staff have full and comprehensive job descriptions; and
Challenging attitudes throughout academia in order to end discrimination on the basis of contract type.
