Statement on RGU Resolution
20 October 2011
Robert Gordon University (RGU) and the University and College Union (Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø) are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement on the matter of the recognition of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø at RGU.
New working arrangements have been agreed which provide the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø branch at RGU with consultation rights, related facility time and time off for reps to undertake relevant trade union training. The agreement means that the University acknowledges Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø as a campus union at RGU, and that its members have a right to be informed and consulted about issues that impact upon them.
This agreement brings to an end the recent Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø campaign against the University.
Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Branch Secretary Lesley McIntosh said 'I am pleased that an agreement has been reached, and that my employer now acknowledges that Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø members at Robert Gordon University have a right to have a say on those issues that affect them at work. Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø looks forward to working constructively with the University as we move forward'.
Robert Gordon University Executive Director of Human Resources, David Briggs said: 'In reconsidering our collective bargaining arrangements, the University always stated that it remained committed to continuing a constructive dialogue with Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø on how we would have a productive and meaningful relationship going forward. This agreement cements several months of such discussion and we look forward to working with the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø on this basis'.
