All officers are happy to be contacted about UCU business, but we ask that all enquiries/casework requests are directed to the UCU office in the first instance. This allows us to direct contacts to the appropriate officer, and to make sure queries are dealt with promptly and efficiently. Email uonucubranch@gmail.com . The office is generally staffed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for a limited number of hours.
