New materials highlighting #HiddenRedundancies

31 July 2025

As part of our campaign against casualisation and cuts in further and higher education, UCU's Anti-Casualisation Committee, in collaboration with UCU member Thoko Kamwendo, has developed a series of leaflets/posters for use by branches against the hidden redundancies faced by 1000s of members on casualised contracts.

There are seven flyers in total and all are applicable to all sectors except flyers 2 and 6 which include some HE specific data.

Branches are encouraged to use these materials to raise awareness and action against the hidden redundancies of colleagues on casualised contracts.

Side one of the flyers are available as hard copy posters - please email campaigns@ucu.org.uk detailing which version(s), quantities and your delivery details.
