Cardiff University Staff Deserve Better!

Over several years, Cardiff University management has been deteriorating our university through a series of job cuts, unmanageable workloads and unsuitable conditions. These have led to a wellbeing crisis seen by UCU members from across academic schools and professional services.  

Last year we won no compulsory redundancies in 2026. This huge accomplishment was made possible by our membership who stood together and demanded better.  

We can do it again in 2027.  

We ask Cardiff University to agree to:  

  1. No compulsory redundancies in 2027 with no detriment to staff through the Professional Services Remapping 
  1. A signed collective agreement on workload in 2027 

We want a signed agreement between the University Executive Board and recognised trade unions (UCU, Unite, Unison) that sees true joint oversight of both the Academic Delivery Model and Professional Services workloads, union representation and joint decision making in workload-related working groups, and protected research time.  

There is power in the people! We have done it before, and we’ll do it again. Stand with us!  

Vote YES in our indicative ballot
