Let’s capture this energy and strength and take it back to our offices. When we’ve won this dispute (and we will win), let’s create a network of UCU reps across the university so we can supercharge our campaigns for secure jobs, for lower workloads, and for equality.

For each workplace let’s get:

• a UCU department rep
• a UCU anti-casualisation rep (a member not on a permanent contract)
• a UCU postgraduate rep
• a UCU health and safety rep (this network of new health and safety reps will work to show how excessive workloads are a a matter of health which the university must take more seriously)

To join our new massive network of reps, ask two colleagues in your workplace (UCU members) to email ucu@leeds.ac.uk by 10 April* nominating you for one of these roles.  

You can see from the list below that there are workplaces with no UCU rep, so let’s get all those gaps filled and more!

The list below includes current UCU department reps and members of the elected UCU committee), and reps who are covering other workplaces as well as their own, such as in the school of languages, cultures and societies, which is broken down into separate subject areas because it’s so big, where it would be good to have reps in each workplace. We know one or two reps are looking to pass the role on to someone else, so don’t not volunteer just because there’s someone already listed for your workplace (you can always ask them).

*After 10 April, email anyway if there’s still a vacancy!
