Details of our dispute with management was featured in the Telegraph and Argus:

University of Bradford strike over pay and workload

Staff began ten days of strike action this week over plans to make £16million of savings by cutting jobs and closing a number of courses.

Zak Hughes, UCU branch secretary at the University of Bradford told the Telegraph and Argus that the proposed cuts would have a “massive” impact on staff and students.

The Morning Star also attended our picket:

Speaking to the Morning Star on the picket line Zak said “All we need is to get a discussion going and we can save jobs here and we need the information that’s needed to make the changes. Bradford University can do what other institutions have done in the sector and commit to no redundancies.”

Jo Grady went on to tell the Morning Star that “Bradford staff have no choice but to down tools because they refuse to see important courses cut, jobs axed and staff and students pay the price for management’s financial failings”
