Here’s the full list of universities that could be having strikes this term

Staff at over 150 unis are voting on whether to hold strikes


Staff at over 150 universities are voting on whether to go on strike this term, as tensions over pay and pensions rumble on.

Members of the UCU are voting in two disputes: over the value of the USS pensions scheme, and over pay. Staff at some unis are voting on the former, some on the latter, and some on both.

Among the union’s demands is a £2,500 pay increase for staff at all pay levels.

There have been strikes at universities every year since 2018.

UCU General Secretary Jo Grady told The Tab this month that universities had forced staff into their position.

“When they say that it’s terrible that lecturers and university staff are going on strike, that is a position that they have triggered. This is, as far as I’m concerned, employer initiated industrial action,” Grady said.

Here’s every single uni voting on strike action this term:
