Union welcomes ministers' meeting with higher education chiefs
University graduates

HIGHER education union leaders welcomed a Welsh government meeting with university leaders today following recent job loss announcements in Wales.

University and College Union (UCU) Wales official Gareth Lloyd said: “UCU Cymru welcomes the minister’s direction that universities work closely with unions, staff and student representatives and explore alternative options before considering compulsory redundancies.

“We are determined to ensure that job losses and course cuts are never viewed as the least path of resistance and are why our branches will continue to oppose all compulsory redundancies,” he said.
