Industrial Action
We recognise both EIS and UNISON unions for the
purpose of collective bargaining and negotiations regarding pay and associated
terms and conditions for staff in Grades 1-7. Staff can also choose to be
members of other unions and we are aware that a small number of staff are
members of the University and College Union (UCU).
UNISON have now informed us they are asking members
to participate in a further three days of strike action in relation to the outcome
of the 2021-22 national pay negotiations:
2nd May
3rd May
4th May
As outlined in previous communications we believe
that a fair and affordable pay award outcome was achieved in this year’s
negotiations so the further strike action by UCU is disappointing, particularly
due to the potential impact to our students; however the University fully
respects the right of colleagues to take industrial action and accepts that
such action is not taken lightly.
The University fully respects the right of
colleagues to take industrial action and accepts that action is not taken
lightly. Talks between national representatives are ongoing and, as a
University, we will continue to urge all parties to reach a negotiated
solution.
We have created this industrial action
intranet page to provide information for managers and colleagues about the 2021-22
pay round dispute.
