At the EGM of 7th August committee agreed to gauge member opinion on the best way to deploy a further 10 days of strike action through a brief online poll.

Members were apprised of the timelines that apply in law as related to the announcing of strike action. These laws require a minimum 2 weeks of notice to the employer in advance of the action. UCU rules also require a minimum of 1 week for approval from HQ prior to local action.

With this in mind we urge all members to use the opportunity to give feedback that will assist committee in their decision-making regarding this important next step in the dispute.

Your views matter and will directly inform next steps. Thank you to all of those that have already responded; if you have not already done so please refer to last weeks newsletter or look out for this weeks newsletter which will also contain the link.
