Support the university strikes!
University members of the University and College Union (UCU) in 68 branches now have mandates to strike over either or both of the long-running USS pensions dispute and the pay, equality, workload and casualisation dispute (the so-called “Four Fights”). Late in January, the union’s General Secretary announced the next steps in the dispute: ten days of strikes (14-18 Feb, 21-22 Feb, and 28 Feb — 2 Mar), followed by “rolling regional” action throughout March.
