For branch members currently employed by Lancaster University – you might have seen that the University opened a voluntary severance scheme (VSS) via the Staff Intranet on Thursday 17 Sep 2020.
Whilst UNISON continues to resist the loss of any jobs at the University due to its financial situation, and although we have concerns about how the up front costs of the scheme are being funded, we know that this scheme may be of interest and benefit to some of our members.
The University has stated unequivocally that the scheme is voluntary and if you think it would be beneficial for you, and you would like to discuss your situation/an application before contacting the University, please get in touch with us. Please also email us if you have any concerns: unison@lancaster.ac.uk.
