Emergency branch meeting Wednesday 20 September 11am
Do you want to strike next week?
Dear members
National UCU called 5 days of strike action from next Monday, 25 September. However, on Friday, after a meeting of UCU’s HEC (Higher Education Committee), it was agreed to give branches the option of calling off the 5 days of action.
As a result, branches have been asked to consult their members on whether they want to seek an exemption from striking. Time is very tight. Requests for an exemption must be sent and received by national UCU by 2pm on Wednesday.
We are therefore holding an emergency branch meeting on Wednesday 20 September at 11am to decide the following question:
Do you want to seek an exemption from striking next week, 25-29 September?
At the meeting, there will be a discussion and then a vote to decide our reply to this question. This is obviously very important, so please make every effort to attend to engage in the discussion and vote.
