UCU members at the University of Liverpool have completed three weeks of strike action against job cuts, ending 11th June. Their branch has now moved to a marking boycott (the university is deducting 100% pay from participants), and further strikes are anticipated. Your solidarity will be crucial in helping them to win the dispute!

Model motion: University of Liverpool industrial action
This branch notes:
- The disgraceful decision by the University of Liverpool to make Health and Life Science teachers and researchers redundant
- The detrimental effect this will have on student learning
- The devastating impact on staff of losing their jobs during the pandemic
- The determination of UCU Liverpool members to fight for their members
This branch further notes:
- Managers at other universities want to exploit the pandemic to make cuts
- This makes the battle for jobs at Liverpool a dispute of national importance
- It is in the interests of all workers, including us, that UCU Liverpool wins its dispute
This branch resolves:
- To send a message of solidarity to UCU University of Liverpool
- To donate X to their strike fund
- To invite a Liverpool striker to a branch meeting
- To actively support and publicise their strike days and events
Please edit the motion as required.
