During the last year your UCU reps in Bath have raised a number of concerns about staff employed on a range of teaching-only contracts. These include staff with the job titles of teaching fellow, variable hours teaching fellow, part-time teaching fellow, fractional teaching fellow, casual teaching assistant, GTA. We have carried out two surveys of staff on teaching only contracts, and these have produced large responses and highlighted a number of common concerns. We have submitted a summary statement of these concerns to university managers through the formal machinery of negotiation, and we have requested a joint review of the use of teaching only contracts in the university. We await the Vice Chancellor’s response.
