Industrial Action by UCU

UCU have announced that they will be asking members who are part of the Teachers Pension Scheme (TPS) to take strike action on 10 May 2012. This will mainly affect post 1992 institutions.

UNISON Advice

UNISON respects the rights of other trade unions to take industrial action.  UNISON members in universities have not been called to take action and therefore they are advised to continue with their normal duties and responsibilities. However, members may wish to show support for their UCU colleagues by attending meetings/rallies outside working hours.  UNISON members should not take on any additional responsibilities being given to them directly as a result of the UCU industrial action

If members are instructed by their manager to undertake additional duties they should contact your local rep for further advice.

Official Picket Lines

Refusal to cross an official picket line could render members of staff liable to disciplinary action including deduction of salary.  The exception to this is where there are genuine grounds to believe that crossing the picket line could put the person concerned at risk of injury.  Members are advised that when crossing a picket line they should assure the UCU members that they will not undertake any work normally done by those on strike.
