51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

The mediation service Acas has been brought in at Leeds Metropolitan 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ in an attempt to resolve a long-standing dispute over allegations of bullying. Relations between management and the campus unions reached a low last year after a local television station ran a series of interviews with university staff who claimed to have been bullied at work. In a joint statement, the parties said: "The university, the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ and College Union and Unison have agreed to work with the assistance of Acas to examine staff relations across the university and to develop an improved mutual understanding of management and union aims and concerns and make proposals to secure lasting improvements."
