‘Learning representative’

If you are interested in working with UCU locally, you may be interested in being a ‘Learning representative’. Union learning representatives (ULRs) are similar to health and safety representatives; but while health and safety representatives focus on health and safety issues, Learning reps focus on members' personal and professional learning interests.  More information can be found: http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=3108 . Hopefully, in the near future there will be specific facility time @ AU for ULRs which will allow the representative paid time off to attend training events.   Union Learning Reps training scheduled to take place in Tondu (south Wales) on 19-20 April and 11 June. There are spaces available and if you would like to register, please do so following the link register for UCU Learning Reps,19-20 April & 11 June 2012, Cardiff. Please contact the Aberystwyth branch on ucu-aber@aber.ac.uk if you wish to attend. All expenses will be paid
