Welcome to UCL UCU


UCL UCU banner
UCU is the trade union and professional association representing university staff across the sector, formed in June 2006 by the amalgamation of AUT and Natfhe.

UCU is the recognised trade union for lecturing staff, research staff, administrators, computer staff, librarians, and related staff grades.

Some of our members have permanent positions, while others are on temporary contracts (although we have got very many previously 'fixed term' staff onto permanent contracts). PhD students who carry out teaching duties can join on a special rate.

In short, if you are employed at UCL, teach, research or support, but are not currently a member of UCU, we would encourage you to join.

Staff on clerical and manual grades should join UNISON, and those on technical grades, Unite (Amicus). We support our colleagues in the other UCL trade union branches, and encourage all college workers to join their appropriate trade union.

HAVE YOUR SAY.

Staff Survey 9-27 March 2009

Your three campus trade unions encourage you to take part in UCL's staff survey.

We have all been involved in the development of the questions in this second staff survey and are pleased that it has been broadened to include a wider range of work issues that you have said are relevant to you. It is important that you use this opportunity to give your views on working for UCL, as this will help us identify areas where actions can be taken to improve the working experience of us all.
