Following the failure of negotiations, and the imposition of an unacceptable proposal which will decimate our pensions, UCU has given notice of an escalating programme of strike action to take place on the following dates:

Week one: Thursday 22 and Friday 23 February (two days)

Week two: Monday 26, Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 February (three days)

Week three: Monday 5, Tuesday 6, Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 March (four days)

Week four: Monday 12, Tuesday 13, Wednesday 14, Thursday 15 and Friday 16 March (five days)

We would urge all members to attend the General Meeting to take place on February 7th at 1.10pm in room 0.85, Glamorgan Building, where the strike will be the main issue under discussion.

Let’s make this a solid strike with lively picket lines, leaving our employers in no doubt that we will not back down on this crucial issue.

Please bring your ideas along to the GM on how to make the strike a success. We will also be asking for volunteers to join the strike committee.

It’s your union. Get involved.
