The University of Surrey proposes to employ all new Professional Services staff through its subsidiary company: Operate Surrey: Operate Surrey – Jobs at the University of Surrey. This constitutes outsourcing work to employees of a limited company who will not benefit from the staff rights our unions fight hard for including national level pay bargaining and pensions.
New professional services staff will be employed on worse terms and conditions, such as pension / sick pay / leave, and will be dependent on performance criteria for annual pay progression (which does not apply to existing University of Surrey staff). Every penny the University makes in profiting from these divisive plans will come directly from the pockets of Operate Surrey staff.
In addition, expanding Operate Surrey will further lead to a two-tier workforce and risks the fragmentation and lack of cohesion of professional services staff to the detriment of the working environment for existing staff. Should the University go ahead with these plans, recruitment through subsidiary companies risks becoming normalised, with other roles such as technicians and academics at risk in the future.
We see these private subsidiary arrangements worsening staff terms and conditions, as an existential issue for our university and the sector more widely – and a threat to the continued strength of our pension schemes (including USS).
We call on the University of Surrey management to:
- halt its outsourcing proposal of employing new professional services staff via its subsidiary company Operate Surrey
- commit in writing that no existing staff will be transferred into this subsidiary company
- commit to discussing with the campus trade unions the bringing of all Operate Surrey staff into University of Surrey employment
