[vip-all] Talents
by Ulrik Ingerslev Uggerhøj 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Dear all, As a follow-up for the residential meeting at Vejle, before which I only had response from 2 groups, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with talent students: "Please also take responsibility for organizing suggestions for host groups for “Talent students” (i.e. students being admitted to the talent program from their second year); such groups may consist of the entire topical group or one or more subgroups." Please include in your (preferably brief) response which (sub-)groups you suggest, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the 1/2 year (which product?).

by Ann-Berit Porse Stærkær 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

English version below DHL Stafet torsdag den 23 august 2018. Som tidligere år er PS! og FFB sammen om et telt for IFA hold. Der vil være øl og pølser til alle deltagere. Vi tilmelder holdene via AU, så der skal ikke betales registreringsgebyr. Både ansatte og ph.d.-studerende kan tilmelde hold á 5 personer. Man får en løbe t-shirt, hvis man deltager for første gang. For at registrere et hold send venligst en e-mail til FFB (ffb(a)phys.au.dk<mailto:ffb@phys.au.dk>) indeholdende følgende oplysninger: * Holdnavn For hver af de fem løbere: * Navn * E-mail * Fødselsår * Køn * T-shirt størrelse* (for dem der løber DHL stafet for første gang) * Løbernes rækkefølge Og: * Markér navnet og tilføj 'hjælper' for én af jer - (se nedenfor) Arrangørerne vil sætte pris på noget hjælp med nogle praktiske opgaver (f.eks. opsætning af teltet og transport af ting og sager til Mindeparken). Derfor vil vi gerne bede hvert hold stille med et medlem til at hjælpe. Vi vil holde et møde I begyndelsen af august, hvor vi uddeler opgaverne, så når du registrerer holdet, bedes du anføre navn og e-mail på den medarbejder, der vil hjælpe os. Fristen for tilmelding er tirsdag den 1. maj, men da folk har tendens til at registrere hurtigt, vil det være smart at handle hurtigt! Hvis der er enkeltpersoner, der ønsker at komme på et hold, kan de også sende en e-mail til arrangørerne (ffb(a)phys.au.dk<mailto:ffb@phys.au.dk>), og så vil vi prøve at finde nogle holdkammerater. For mere information om selve stafetten: http://www.aarhusmotion.dk/event/dhl-stafetten Yderligere information om arrangementet vil følge, når vi nærmer os dagen. *Du kan finde størrelsesguide for løbetrøjerne her: Herrer: http://medarbejdere.au.dk/fileadmin/www.medarbejdere.au.dk/DHL/Stoerrelsesg… Damer: http://medarbejdere.au.dk/fileadmin/www.medarbejdere.au.dk/DHL/Stoerrelsesg… Mvh.

As in previous years we will host a PS! / FFB tent for teams from IFA, with beer and sausages for all participants. Following the procedure from last year, we will be registering the teams via AU, so there will be no registration fee to pay Both PhD students and staff can register teams of 5 participants. A running Tshirt is given to those who participate for the first time. To register your team please send an email to FFB (ffb(a)phys.au.dk<mailto:ffb@phys.au.dk>) including * The team name For each of the five runners: * Name * Email address * Birth year * Gender * T-shirt size required* (only if you run the DHL relay for the first time) * The order in which they will run.

We will hold a meeting in early August to distribute tasks, so please include the name and email address of the team member who will help in the email to the organisers when you register. The strict deadline for registering is Tuesday, May 1st, but as people tend to register quickly it would be smart to act fast!

[vip-all] Mulig konflikt / potential conflict
by Allan Hvidkjær Sørensen 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Orientering fra fællestillidsmanden: Dear colleagues As you may have heard, the negotiations on the renewal of the collective agreement (overenskomst) between the state and our trade unions broke down this Friday. This has brought us to a situation closer to a conflict (strike or lockout), although we are not there yet. Why a breakdown? The negotiations broke down this Friday because no progress has been made in the negotiations. The chief negotiator on the employer side, minister Sophie Løhde, applies a rhetoric saying that the employee side just want to have but don’t wants to give. Reality is that the public sector, in particular academics are lacking behind w.r.t. salary development compared to the private sector. Also, the state is demanding that we give up the paid lunch break and that the our collective rights are weakened. The lunch break: We, on the employee side, argue that the paid lunch is a consequence of the existing collective agreement, but this has not yet been settled in industrial court. The employer side, has challenged the lunch break outside the proper negotiations with the result that we have had to include the stipulation of the right in our demands. So why is this lunch break important for us, we already work more than 37.5 hours per week. It is important because, raising the work hours by 2.5 per week, technically can be seen as saving 7% on the salary budget, and thus be an argument for a 7% cut in funding from the state to the universities. Another disagreement is the work hour’s governance for the elementary school teachers. This is now a matter of legislation, which it should not be. In the Danish model work hour rules should be set through negotiation between the employers and the employees. When can conflict start? Conflict has to be called with a month notice, and con not be effective before April 1. The arbitrator (Forligsmanden) can postpone the conflict 2x14 days and force the parties to continue negotiation. What does the conflict mean to us? A conflict can either be a strike called by the trade unions, or a lockout called by the employers. It can be partial or general. If you are covered by conflict you have to stop working immediately when the conflict starts. You cannot teach or supervise, you cannot continue experiments. The employer and the trade union will from day to day decide if there is critical work that has to be done due to safety or due to the life and welfare of humans or animals. If you are traveling when a conflict you are covered by starts, you have to return home immediately. It is unclear what will happen with ph.d.-students who get delayed because of the conflict. A debate with university senior management is in process on this, we seem to share the view that individual ph.d.-studies should not suffer from a conflict. Will you still get paid during conflict? If you are port of conflict you will not get any salary from the university during the conflict. Instead, your trade union will compensate your lost salary. A joint model for all academic trade unions is being finalized soon. Who will be involved? Only members by the trade unions will be covered by conflict. If you are not a member of the trade union you should consider signing up. The salary and working conditions you have at the university are a result of the work done by the trade unions both at the national level and local level by the shop stewards. The collective agreements, continues work with working conditions and orderliness, continuous salary negotiations for all (also non-members), protection of individual rights etc. And in the situation of a conflict over the collective agreement we are stronger the more people are involved, and that will create a better result for all. Talk to your union representative about how to become a member. Members of the trade union cannot resign from the union to avoid being covered by conflict. How will students be affected by conflict? As these covered by conflict cannot teach and undertake exams, the students will be affected. Depending on how long a conflict will go on, students may loose a whole semester. This is a responsibility the employer must handle. A conflict will have a lot of negative effects. That is why everybody tries to avoid it. But if we are met with unreasonable demands and no room for protection of our real wages we may end in a situation where conflict is the only way forward. Enough is enough.
