The two staff parties
Why VLAM?
"VLAM's council members have extensive experience in employee representation. We have the network and the dossier knowledge to be able to intervene in a complex organisation like the university in a timely manner and with convincing arguments in the developments deployed by the board. As representatives across the full spectrum of staff, including temporary staff and support staff, we are an important discussion partner of the board."
Why the UPP (Utrecht PhD Party)?
"We call on all PhD candidates, postdocs, junior scientists and anyone who cares about staff welfare and rights to consider voting for us. As part of your community, we understand the daily struggles you face because we also experience them first-hand. We are highly motivated and determined to defend and strengthen our collective voice."
