UCD staff reject 'top-down, rigid' new demands to work at least three days a week in office

"Union official claims on one occasion, an academic had to lecture students online from her car because all parking spaces were gone at the college"

"UCD staff have rejected management demands to work at least three days a week in the office."

"Siptu has urged managers to suspend changes to the university's hybrid working policy after referring the dispute to the Workplace Relations Commission."

UCD staff rejected management demands that employees work at least three days a week in the office. SIPTU urged managers to suspend proposed changes to the university's hybrid working policy and referred the dispute to the Workplace Relations Commission. A union official said that on one occasion an academic had to deliver online lectures from her car because all parking spaces at the college were taken. The referral to the Workplace Relations Commission seeks independent adjudication of the dispute. The disagreement centers on the extent of required on-campus presence versus hybrid working arrangements and practical campus logistics.
