Strike days scheduled for 21, 22, 23, 27, 28 February and 1, 2 March have been withdrawn following negotiations at ACAS (the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service).

Read the joint statement from trade unions and UCEA here. See the announcement of this decision by General Secretary Jo Grady on twitter here.

Strike days scheduled 16th  – 22nd March remain in place and our current ASOS (Action Short of a Strike) also remains in place.

At the same time UCU is launching a re-ballot of members in the UCU Rising pay and conditions dispute to renew the mandate for industrial action which runs out in April. Ballot papers will arrive from 22nd February. Post you ballot back as soon as possible. UCU recommends voting YES to keep up pressure during negotiations. To ensure you receive your ballot paper, make sure your details are up to date on MyUCU.
