    Strike for USS – why we are still on strike, planning phase two & organising meeting Thu 22 March

    Byadmin March 19, 2018February 21, 2025

We rejected: UCL and the following UCU branches have passed explicit resolutions supporting the ‘status quo’ of the current USS benefit structure: Goldsmith’s, King’s College, Liverpool, Ruskin College, and Warwick. More UCU branches…
