Thank you to striking Bristol UCU members, students, University of Bristol Unison, fellow trade unionists and supporters from across Bristol and the South West.
Our strike action has seen the first breakthrough of the dispute: we are now talking to employers about pay and conditions, with a view to reaching a deal before the end of January next year.
We have yet not heard anything as regards ongoing USS pension talks between USS employers and UCU.
As we enter our UoB Winter Vacation period, and a period of intense UCU and UCEA pay and conditions negotiations, UCU members across the UK should prepare themselves to take further hard-hitting strike action. We all hope that a dispute-settling deal emerges from the UCEA-UCU talks. In the event of no such satisfactory settlement, UCU will, no doubt, have to plan for further industrial action including a marking and assessment boycott.
