UCU members at Coventry University have already been on strike previously for five days last year. The strikes which took place in November overlapped with graduation ceremonies.
Tweets found on the Coventry UCU account say that they have tried to negotiate with Senior Management and were unsuccessful again so they are taking strike action once more.
Why are @coventryucu members back are on strike next week 28-29 Jan? We tried to negotiate with Senior Management but once again they refuse to listen. For them the #RottentotheCore performance pay is working – @covcampus staff get paid less than almost all other universities!
