In my case they turned me down because I am paid as clerical, regardless of
the job I do. It seems in Oxford they *can* ignore us.

I am quite surprised Mike (sorry I think I missed your earlier email in the
deluge of emails I get), perhaps things will be different after they merge
with NATFE, or maybe you could even write to them when they draw up a new
constitution (which presumably they will have to) - outlining your previous
application refusal and reasons why librarians should be part of the new
union? If you have a training role maybe you could emphasise this more, or
if you have an external training role (say with a CILIP group) try to get
this across.
I think a lot of people in libraries would like to join AUT, and it's not
something they will be able to ignore.

The fact remains that people in my position are *refused* representation by
AUT. I would far rather be in AUT than Unison, though I have had good help
from them, but am not allowed to join.

I don't think you need any special grading status to join AUT...
