We will be on strike for 5 consecutive days on week commencing 21 March because senior management are still not meaningfully negotiating with staff who are casualised, underpaid, overworked & whose pensions have been cut by 35% #WeAreTheUniversity
🚨We have notified university employers that they will face another 5 days of strike action beginning Mon 21 March VCs can end this dispute, but would rather hoard billions in reserves & attack staff pensions, pay & working conditions #OneOfUsAllOfUs ucu.org.uk/article/12178/UK-…
