Trade Unions Information
Information and contact details for the University's recognised Trade Unions.
Trade Unions
The University recognises three trade unions: University and College Union (UCU), UNISON and Unite. It informs, consults and negotiates with each union on matters which specifically affect their cohort of members and works in partnership with all three unions on matters which affect all staff, for example, changes to university policy, terms and conditions of employment, working practices and proposals for organisational change.
With other Higher Education trade unions, UCU, UNISON and Unite negotiate on a national basis with the higher education employer’s body, the Universities and Colleges Employer’s Association (UCEA) over pay, for example on the annual increase to the rates on the national pay spine.
