Leeds UCU social events
We have been looking at ways to strengthen our UCU community and have been holding regular coffee mornings around campus as ways for people to meet and chat with other UCU members. If you work in a small team or small office, you may not have many chances to get to know other UCU members, so these coffee mornings are a way around that. We’re also hosting drop-in lunches at the Ziff roughly once a month, plus after-work socials at the Library pub. See our upcoming dates below – and let me know if you would like to see a UCU social event in your area (email ucu@leeds.ac.uk).
We’ve been working to build a support network for newer department reps too, and we have just started a “circle mentoring” initiative for reps to support each other as they find ways to effectively represent members in their areas.
We’re working on hosting some webinars open to all members, where we’ll discuss ways you can get more involved in union activities, whether that’s as a department rep, a committee member, or through organising and campaigning on various issues. Look out for further news about these webinars soon.
