Will my school be affected by strike action?

The majority of University colleagues will not be taking part in the strike action and many teaching and assessment sessions and postgraduate research (PGR) supervision meetings will go ahead as planned.

People Services (our HR department) will write to all colleagues in advance of the industrial action asking them to declare if they will be taking action so that we can put in place measures to minimise the impact on students. However, colleagues are not obliged to inform the University of their intention to participate in advance of the action, but they must do so afterwards if requested. You can ask your lecturers/tutors/supervisors if they intend to participate in the industrial action however, please be aware, they are not obliged to tell you.

If you are not informed that a session or supervision meeting has been cancelled or postponed, you should assume it will take place and attend as normal.
