Vacancies
Under the rules of the Trade Union – the Local Committee can have up to twenty-four ordinary members. We still have vacancies on the committee and would welcome any new committee members. We are particularly keen to have more representation of PGRs.
There are many sections of the University which are not represented. Ordinary members should represent as broad and inclusive a spectrum of membership as possible and may include roles with a particular short-term focus or requiring specialist knowledge to assist the officers.
We would be interested to hear from anyone who would be willing to serve on the Committee. You can contact any Committee member in confidence and with no obligation.
