Summary Lecturers at 67 UK universities are planning strikes from Monday over pension changes.
The University and College Union (UCU) general secretary, Sally Hunt, said the aim was to force the university employers to renegotiate some of the changes they have just brought in.The government is trying to increase the amount lecturers contribute toward their own pensions, and decrease the amount their employers, the universities, pay in.The lecturers’ industrial action will start with a “work to contract” which the UCU said would be the start of a “sustained campaign of industrial action”. To check if your lecturers are planning to strike call your university branch of the UCU.
