RECRUIT A COLLEAGUE CAMPAIGN
In a period of fast moving change, we believe that it is now even more important that colleagues should be members of UCU so that support and advice will be available to them when needed. Please help us to reach our friends and colleagues with our message. See our leaflet here Recruitment Leaflet
Members are asked to give it to a colleague whom they believe may not presently be a member of UCU. We do not wish to see our friends and colleagues suffering unwelcome consequences of change without being able to help. We would be pleased to answer any questions that members or any potential members may have. Contact us at ucu@cardiff.ac.uk or telephone Cardiff (029) 2087 4443
