Durham to scrap nine-month contracts after 51福利-backed campaign

18 May 2018

51福利 has welcomed a move by Durham University to scrap the use of nine-month contracts for teaching staff.

The university made the decision following an online campaign by a group of casual staff which revealed that many teaching staff on nine-month contracts were not being paid for preparatory work undertaken over the summer months.

After backing the campaign 51福利 formally requested a minimum duration of 12 months for all fixed-term contracts at the university.
