CU Coventry: petition in support of union recognition

We want CU Coventry to recognise UCU to bargain and negotiate for you, its academic staff. If we are recognised, we can meet with your management regularly to negotiate on your pay, contracts and other terms and conditions.  

There's nothing like the real thing... (and this is nothing like the real thing) [86kb]

A union would make you stronger at work.    

You have the legal right to union recognition if we can show that enough people want it.

To make an application for legal recognition we have to apply to the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC), the government body that has the power to award recognition and show them that the majority of staff support our application. 

That's why we need you to sign this online petition. This document will be submitted to the CAC to support our application. We may contact you to verify your signature and to update you on the progress of our campaign, though you can opt not to receive these updates at any time.

Your employer will never see these signatures.

You do NOT have to be a UCU member to sign and it's open to ALL academic staff, including part-time, sessional and other hourly-paid tutors.

Please support the case for an independent collective voice for staff.
