Members will take more strike action in higher education unless employer body UCEA agrees to return to negotiations.
The union's Higher Education Committee voted today for further strikes before the end of September, as well as to begin preparations for a new ballot in order to renew UCU's industrial mandate in the pay and working conditions dispute.
The marking boycott will also continue.

We are launching a week of consultation over the next steps in the #ucuRISING dispute:
9 August: All member briefing from negotiators, 4:30pm-6pm
11 August: Branch Delegate Meeting
14 August: Emergency Higher Education Committee meetingHigher education members involved in the dispute should check your email for more info.
We must decide what we do next together. Make sure your voice is heard.
-
An emergency Higher Education Committee meeting has been requested which will decide UCU's response to the refusal of the employers' body, UCEA, to settle the ongoing pay and conditions dispute.
A date and timescales will be found which ensures branches and members can have their input.
UCU general secretary Jo Grady said 'UCEA have demonstrated unparalleled intransigence. We must come together and determine next steps.'
-
UCU has slammed employer body UCEA for condemning students across the UK to continued graduation disruption by refusing to settle the ongoing pay and conditions dispute.
This was in response to a letter UCEA sent yesterday which said employers will not make any attempt to restore punitive pay deductions for staff who have boycotted marking, nor will they make any improved pay offer.
-
UCU general secretary Jo Grady: University employers are refusing to consider offering anything extra on pay, and in the absence of this neither are they offering anything to redress the punitive pay deductions many members have suffered for participating in the marking & assessment boycott.
We'll do everything possible to challenge the employers legally on the unfair and disproportionate deductions and will also build for further action.
-
Emergency protests will hit UK university campuses tomorrow ahead of UCU's crunch talks with the employer body, UCEA.
UCU met with UCEA last week in an attempt to end the UK-wide university marking boycott and resolve the ongoing pay and working conditions dispute. Unfortunately, UCEA refused to table an improved pay offer or provide any redress for members who have been hit with punitive pay deductions.

Pleased to see the crew of my garden railway out in support of us as Cardiff UCU begin a week of strike action over punitive 50% pay deduction for those involved in the marking and assessment boycott #UCUrising #CardiffUCU #UCUstrike #UCU #MAB #solidarity #SettleTheDispute @ucu

Student graduation speech from the Staff-Student Solidarity Network at #EdinburghUni, reflecting on ongoing industrial action #UCURising. Listen to the crowd 👀, I wonder whether they expected the senior leadership team to #SettleTheDispute ? #universities #Scotland

Just in case you had any doubts about #UCEA and its continued pretence that they're ready and willing to find a solution to the funding crisis in HE, here's their chief, aka VC of Aberdeen, demanding 'maximum pain' for staff participation in #UCU's #MarkingAndAssessmentBoycott.

#UCEA didn’t waste any time and have made prompt contact with #UCU. Let’s hope this goes somewhere this time. #ucurising

UK Uni Crisis
“The UK is on the brink of a nationwide degree scandal with no engagement from university management, who have abandoned academic standards, and no intervention from the government in sight.”

UCU members at SOAS have today opened their payslips to find 100% pay deductions. This is utterly appalling behaviour from university management. They have attacked staff and dragged their reputation through the mud instead of calling on their representatives at UCEA to re-negotiate.

UK University Industrial Action:
A student-led initiative to try to get the senior leadership at different universities to make a public request to @ucea1 to resume negotiations with @ucu

Contemporary labour practices seem calculated to ensure that there will be no one capable of doing the job in a generation's time. The "mini rooms" GRRM writes about here are an example, but we've been seeing it in academia for years with the increased use of casual labour.
Are they really that short-sighted?

Eight years ago today, I went on strike as a member of the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation. We struck against the University of Oregon. I walked this picket line for 8 days in the rain in early December and we WON 100% of our demands--an absolute total victory. Today, 8 years later, University of California is on strike. I stand with them. Fight for a fair contract! You WILL defeat them! Solidarity! #ucstrike #ucberkeley #FairUCNow #UAW2865 #UCURising

CW: Industrial action in UK #HigherEducation
Well, well, I wonder what has prompted this sudden avowel:
"We’ve balanced the books by hugely increasing numbers of international students, by, in many institutions, not investing in adequate repairs and maintenance and, as a system, systematically underpaying our staff"
