In this week’s campaigns update:
Higher education (HE): strike is ON as yesterday’s negotiations offer no improvement
UCU negotiators met with the University and College Employer Association (UCEA) this week in the hope of finding a solution to the current dispute amidst growing anger over news that vice-chancellor pay rose by 6.1% last year. Regrettably UCEA made no improvement on the 1.1% pay offer to staff or on measures to address gender inequality and insecure contracts and the strike action will continue on Wednesday and Thursday next week as planned.
Please join picket lines and support the strike action:
- FAQs on the action
- Posters, leaflets and information for students
- Latest update on our challenge to punitive pay deductions.
