Why am I taking part in industrial action?

I believe that it is important for union membership to be represented at all levels of the organisation and, while I do believe that the University and ECA are genuinely engaged and making progress on the Four Fights, we need sector-wide engagement and systemic change.

The USS pension scheme is deferred payment for service and the proposed changes will result in highly significant cuts to the lifetime benefits of huge numbers of hard-working colleagues.

I want Higher Education to be an attractive place for the most talented and wonderful people to work. The principle of collective action means that, with an extremely heavy heart, I will be striking from 1st to 3rd December.
