· The FAQs and legal advice for the industrial action. This
should be the first port-of-call for any queries. The FAQs have been prepared
in collaboration with expert employment lawyers. If you are still unclear or
you need to add to this list please contact Matt Waddup directly here. New
questions will be added as they arise, so if your query is not covered please
do send them through.
· Additional guidance on working to contract and
a briefing aimed specifically at migrant staff,
again produced for UCU in cooperation with our legal advisors.
· An
index of the rallies, marches and other events being organised at
each branch during the strike period.
· Suggested out of office text for strike
action and action short of a strike.
· UCU
general secretary Jo Grady hosted a live Q&A session last Friday - if you missed it, the video is available here.

is the video message to students from UCU and NUS
· There
is also a master list of the institutions taking action.
· There
is a call to support striking colleagues by donating to the fighting fund. To make a donation, click here. The
larger the fund is, the stronger the message we send to our employers that we
will not capitulate.
