Notice to all students regarding industrial action 24 November 2009
Issued 20th November 2009
To all UCD students
The Public Services Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions has organised a one-day work stoppage on Tuesday 24th November 2009. SIPTU, IFUT and TEEU have notified the University that their members have voted to support the action.
Given that next week is the last week of the semester and that some of you have assessments and/or assignment submissions scheduled for 24th November, the University will be open and will endeavour to maintain services at as close a level as possible to normal. Unless you have been told otherwise by a member of staff from your School or Programme you should assume your lectures, lab sessions, field trips, assessments and assignment submissions for the 24th remain as scheduled. Nonetheless, it is clear that a proportion of staff will not attend for work on Tuesday, and inevitably, some lectures, lab sessions, field trips, assessments and assignment submissions currently scheduled for the 24th November will have to be rescheduled. We will do our best to ensure you are notified of any such changes.
Any supplementary information regarding the above arrangements will be posted on the UCD website and you are advised to check for updates.
It should be appreciated that it is difficult to anticipate what level of services will be available on the day and your patience and flexibility will be appreciated.
