The Student Union have asked its members to fill in a survey - link here - to register their opinions regarding the upcoming strike action by lecturers. There is also a meeting to advise the members of the student council - who will vote on this issue, not members - at the Students' Union on Thursday 17th March at 5:15 pm. Please fill out the form and attend if possible. YOU HAVE UNTIL 3PM ON THURSDAY - THAT'S TOMORROW - TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY.
Attacks on university staff are indirect attacks on the quality of education received by students, short and long term. It is therefore in students' interests to support staff in their actions to protect their working conditions and those of future academics.
B. Show a shared concern for members of UCU on the issue of job security and pay and also on the issue of changes to the University Superannuation Scheme and support industrial action on Tuesday 22nd March and Thursday 24th March and issue a statement of support.

Industrial Action on Campus: Tuesday 22 and Thursday 24 March
Earlier on today the Students' Union was informed by The University and Colleges Union, the organisation that represents staff and lecturers at the University, that their members will be taking industrial action and will be going on strike next week on Tuesday 22 March and Thursday 24 March. This means that certain members of university staff will not be turning up to work. This will potentially impact upon students. The Students’ Union’s Student Council will be considering a position paper to determine what stance the Students’ Union should be taking in relation to this strike action. In order to help steer the Student Council’s decision making, we are asking students to let us know what their feelings on the issue are. You can do this very simply by filling in this very brief survey at
