Strike action commences 25 May and takes the form of a two day strike (25 and 26 May) with working to contract commencing 25 May. We would ask all members to support the action in the following ways:
Withdraw your labour for 25 and 26 May
Attend the picket line on Wednesday 25 May at Highfield campus – meet at the UCU office from 7.45am. You are welcome to join the picket later if necessary.
Attend the picket line on Thursday 26 May at Avenue campus – meet at the entrance to the car park from 7.45am. Join later if necessary.
Set your email to Out of Office with the following message:
“I’m sorry but I am currently unable to respond to emails as I am partaking in strike action. Please contact me again after 26 May”
Inform your students of the action and the reasons behind it by passing on this leaflet
Join the rally of UCU members at 1pm at Guildhall Square, Southampton on Wednesday 25 May.
A reminder that you do not have to inform management in advance that you will be taking strike action. We are also asking members to work to contract from 25 May. As staff at L4+ at University of Southampton have no set hours, we are asking that you work no more than 37 hours/week. Details of Working to Contract and other FAQs can be found on the UCU website.
Many thanks for your support.
