The university has advised the PSA (CPSU) 149 Professional Staff elected to take an Early Voluntary Retirement at the end of 2016.

They have told us the short-term plan for filling the vacancies is to appoint fixed-term staff to these roles until the Project Essex restructures commence in June 2017. HR believes all of these positions have now been filled. Based on the feedback we’ve received from PSA (CPSU) members so far, the union doesn’t agree that this is the case.

The university would like PSA (CPSU) to provide specific examples of the impact of EVRS on remaining staff. You will not be personally identified, but your detailed responses to the following questions will help us to push for the resources you need.
