After a year of close monitoring, we are dissatisfied with the implementation, and as a resultwith the policy itself, namely the discrepancies between departments and lack of thegenerous application that was communicated. While we suspended in good faith, we do notfeel such faith was reciprocated. Thus, we re-activate the action.
Join the upcoming meeting on Friday 28 April to stay informed about Casual UvA's next steps.
We are organizing a new demonstration on Thursday 20 April at 17:00 in front of the ABC building at the Roeterseiland Campus (REC).
A message to our students about our the decision to suspend the marking strike.
📣📣BREAKING NEWS📣📣 Casual UvA to suspend strike and monitor implementation. Thank you to all of our stakeholders for their solidarity and support. Thank you to all the brave junior lecturers for their commitment and resolve.
Call for a public meeting by Casual Academy and 0.7 about the draft agreement for the new Collective Labour Agreement (CAO) 2022-2023, open to ALL UNION MEMBERS AND UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES: Wednesday 25th May, 17.00
Following a collective vote among the striking departments—based on the responses of leadership to Casual UvA's strike demands—a motion has passed to continue the strike. Due to a lack of urgency and transparency, we are not confident in how the proposed Central HR policy will be implemented at various organisational levels. [...] To mitigate the impacts of these actions on our students, the eight striking departments have agreed to release Block 4 grades within 15 working days. Further, our marking strike action will now apply to Block 5 grades with immediate effect.
DEMONSTRATION NOTICE ⏰⏰⏰ Tomorrow from 12:30 to 14:30 in front of the Acdemiegebouw in Utrecht. CAO negotiations are taking place between the unions and universities and it is important we show up and show out!
A letter to the students of the striking departments: "Thank you for your solidarity and patience as we work towards an outcome for better education. We also understand that some of you may be frustrated by delayed grades, and apologise for the inconvenience this may cause."
You can now sign our petition.
Today, April 1 2022, Casual UvA announced a Marking Strike by the teaching staff of six UvA bachelor programmes.
