Casualised staff ‘dehumanised’ in UK universities

Can I add that it's not just academic staff. Support staff on contracts are treated just as badly. I didn't realise until I had to switch from a university staff contract to their agency contract. It has also cost me a great deal of money because of agency employment terms and conditions, as in annual leave. I supplemented unpaid days taken over the Christmas break from my savings, as not enough paid hours had been accrued. These contracts need to be investigated.
