Buy-out for committee work (such as working group or committee attendance) is available on a sliding scale depending the position and any additional responsibilities you take on. This ranges from roughly 0.1 FTE to 0.3 FTE.

The open letter/petition to gather signatures is live!
This letter was drafted by one of our brilliant members and is published in conjunction with our sister unions, UNITE and UNISON. The letter builds on the no confidence vote we held at our last EGM and outlines the actions/behaviour we want to see from UEA management.
Please sign and circulate it far and wide – to colleagues, students, alumni, anyone who you can think might be supportive. Post it on social media, send a mass email chain, shout it from the rooftops – we need as much exposure as possible!
