Since LJMU notified the staff that Disabled Parking at LJMU was no longer to be free. UNISON@LJMU has taken the lead in discussions with staff across the estate, with the aim to persuade LJMU to reverse this decision.
This is further disadvantaging members of staff who are already limited to how they travel to work. For many, driving is the only means available for them to attend work each day. To then force them to pay for the privilege, UNISON@LJMU feels this goes against Equality. Taking into account that in general Blue Badge Holders are mainly entitled to free parking facilities.
It’s with great pleasure that working in cooperation with members of LJMU Staff across the university from various service teams, departments, and Staff Networks and also GMB and UCU that LJMU has announced that they have reversed this decision and Disabled Parking is to remain Free at LJMU.
