Subject: Freedom of Information request - Casualisation agreements between
university and trade unions, and implementation
 
Dear University of Birmingham,

I am writing to request, under the Freedom of Information act, information
about casualisation.

Please could you provide the following:
(1) A copy of any agreements between the university and trade unions
concerning casualisation, i.e. the use of fixed-term contracts, zero-hours
contracts or similar contracts.
(2) The dates any such agreements were reached.
(3) Annual statistics regarding the number of staff employed on fixed-term
contracts, dating from before any agreements mentioned in (1) to the
present day. If no such agreements exist, then please provide annual
statistics for the last five years.
(4) Annual statistics as in (3) regarding the number of staff employed on
zero-hours contracts (if possible separated into postgraduate students who
are also employed by the university, and other staff employed on
zero-hours contracts).
(5) Minutes of meetings between the university and trade unions at which
progress of implementation of the agreements mentioned in (1) were
discussed.

Yours faithfully,

Francis Higgs
