I am currently participating in ‘Action Short of a Strike’ as part of the UCU HE disputes on pay, equality, workloads and casualisation, and on pension
justice. This includes working to contract, not covering for absent colleagues, not rescheduling teaching cancelled due to strike action; not undertaking any voluntary activities. This action will continue until the dispute is resolved, or until 29 April 2020
if that is sooner. Unfortunately, this means that I am unlikely to be able to complete all tasks punctually or respond to all requests immediately, and I would ask for your patience and understanding. More information about the disputes is available at
www.ucu.org.uk/why-we-are-taking-action and more about our working to contract at
