RGU Dispute

EIS ULA is set to take strike action over Robert Gordon University’s plans to cut jobs and make members compulsory redundant.

Members are angry about the University’s plans, which has only intensified by them moving forward with their plans and holding rounds of redundancy consultation with members at risk of losing their jobs. On top of this, serious questions need to be answered about the scoring of these consultations.

The EIS has been seeking a no compulsory redundancy guarantee from RGU since the branch lodged their dispute in September last year. Although every attempt has been made by the EIS to achieve this, there is still no guarantee in place for you or your colleagues.

EIS ULA members at Robert Gordon University will next take strike action in pursuit of the RGU cuts & redundancies dispute on the 11th of September.

EIS ULA members at RGU are now undergoing a statutory re-ballot to extend the strike mandate to maintain pressure on RGU management and force them to commit to halting cuts to academic numbers.

The EIS believes that obtaining another strike mandate through this re-ballot is the best way to maintain pressure on the University.

Please vote and return your ballot paper as soon as possible.
