<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Gabrielle,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">your message yesterday very sensibly said:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“No University buildings will be closed on this occasion, however, due to the lack of fire marshalls and first aiders who would be available in the John Anderson building, staff based in the JA building are asked to work from home that
day” (7<sup>th</sup> December 2022, i.e. tomorrow).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But today we got a contradictory message from Gordon Scott saying that only personnel in the closed building are authorised to work from home.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the John Anderson building is not in the list of closed building (while strategically the McCance building where HR resides is).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The concern is that there will be no security guaranteed for normal day operation in the John Anderson building.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is anyone of our Department working from home tomorrow considered in breach of contract as threatened by Mr. Scott in his message?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is anyone entering the John Anderson building supposed to contact John Gillan first as suggested in the message below?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you know, UNITE has called a strike on Wednesday 7<sup>th</sup> December, so most University security staff will be on strike.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No University buildings will be closed on this occasion, however, due to the lack of fire marshalls and first aiders who would be available in the John Anderson building, staff based in the JA building are asked to work from home that day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will operate the weekend working system, so anyone with red card access can work in the building if they really need to.
<b>If you are going to be working on campus, please inform John Gillan beforehand so that he can inform security of the names and locations of those who will be in the building.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Arrangements for Thursday 15<sup>th</sup> December (the next UNITE strike day) will be slightly different as we have some exams on that day, so some staff will be in the JA building for invigilation, exams admin, parcel delivery etc. However,
most staff will be asked to work from home on the 15<sup>th</sup> if they can.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Physics staff in TIC are also advised to work from home if possible, but IOP staff may also receive specific instructions from Jennifer Hastie.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
