We are campaigning for all fixed term, hourly paid and casually employed staff contracts to be converted to standard contracts or their fractional equivalents. In some universities hourly paid contracts have already been eliminated. We have had some successes in converting Fixed Term to standard contracts. This is very much down to you, our members; contact us on advice on how to approach the university to convert your contract.

The standard letter which UCU have produced for members to use when asking for their fixed term contracts to be made permanent under the fixed term regulations can be downloaded here
