We are the University: UCU industrial action ballot

“UCU’s higher education committee (HEC) has voted to call an industrial action ballot over pay for all members covered by the JNCHES negotiating umbrella.

The vote will be conducted by post as required by law and is provisionally set to open in the week commencing Monday 20 October, and it will run for approximately 6 weeks.

The pay element of UCEA’s offer is a 1.4% increase, which is below inflation and translates into another real-terms pay cut, and which almost all university employers have unilaterally imposed on staff from 1 August 2025.

It is the strong belief of elected representatives on HEC that this position simply cannot go unchallenged.” More information at ucu.org.uk
