As you may be aware, tomorrow (24 February) marks the start of 14 days of strike action, over four weeks, called for by the University and College Union (UCU). On Wednesday 19 February I sent an email to all students about the upcoming strike action, which you can read
here.
Through my weekly newsletter,
intranet and social media I will keep you updated on any developments and ensure that you have information as it becomes available. I will also ensure the Students’ Union are kept informed.
We will be publishing contact details for your schools who will hold drop in sessions where you will be able to talk about your individual circumstances. I would also like to draw your attention to the
Industrial Action Hardship Fund and encourage you to use this if you incur unnecessary expenses as a result of strike action.
I very much regret that your studies are being affected by the planned strikes and I ask for your patience as we engage with colleagues in order to seek to minimise the impact of this action on you.
