Increase in membership

Our membership in Aberystwyth is at its highest level ever.  This is mainly due to the hard work local UCU staff and officers in recruiting new members.    UCU is recognised as the voice of professional staff throughout higher education. It is taking action at national level to improve the pay and conditions of all staff eligible for membership, and to be as effective as possible it needs your support.  In Aberystwyth, the UCU Local Association represents the interests of professional staff to AU management, and negotiates on behalf of all UCU-eligible staff over terms and conditions. Again, your support puts us in a stronger position.  UCU provides help and advice to members when they encounter difficulties in employment, but just as you would for insurance or a breakdown contract, you need to be a member beforehand to benefit from such help.   

You can help on a local level by joining the executive committee.
