Accusations of the SU blocking out union reps behind the strike
Two Lincoln universities are likely to join the biggest ever higher education strike in the UK, as over 70,000 staff announced three days of industrial action this month, which are likely to result in cancelled or rearranged lectures for students.
The strike dates have been scheduled for Thursday, November 24, Friday, November 25 and Wednesday, November 30 – with around 150 universities affected. A referendum has been called by the University of Lincoln Students’ Union to see if students in the city, and the union itself, support lecturers in joining this strike.
Dr Clayton organised a staff-student forum, which took place at the Cargill Lecture Theatre at 12pm on Wednesday, November 9. “Our PGR representative, who is both, was unavailable that evening due to the short notice given. In any case, as Branch Chair I am much better placed to talk about what the campaign is about and why students ought to support their lecturers.”
