Strategies to win: after the union’s Higher Education Committee – where next?
6pm Thursday 3 March 2022
At our last UK-wide strike meeting, attended by nearly 200 UCU members from 50 different branches, we agreed to hold a recall meeting on 3rd March. When this meeting takes place, staff at UK universities will have taken up to 10 days of strike action and ASOS over cuts to pensions and over the Four Fights campaign.
Meanwhile, UCU members at Goldsmiths and the Royal College of Art are intensifying their strike action against job losses. All this takes place against the background of an escalating assault on living standards, with other trade unions now starting ballots over pay.
We have taken part in teach-outs and marches and stood alongside our students and colleagues from Unison and other unions on the picket lines.
But, with managements refusing to accept the union’s demands over pensions and showing no sign of budging on the other issues, we have serious questions to address, such as:
- What further strike action should UCU call?
- How do we implement ASOS?
- How do we respond to pay docking threats?
