RAIUL UCU’s Anti-Casualisation Campaign (March 14-16, 2022)
Casualisation of teaching staff in UK universities is endemic. Universities increasingly rely on zero-hour contracts of their teaching staff, leading to precarious, insecure, and unstable working environment for instructors and learning environment for students. At Richmond, often up to 60% of all teaching staff are adjunct faculty on zero-hour contracts. The UCU has called for an end of the use of zero-hour contracts and the improvements to adjunct faculty’s working conditions.
Join us in learning about casualisation in the HE sector, and ways it is being challenged.
