A reminder that it is ASOS for the rest of the week before we resume strike action on Monday. ASOS currently consists of the following:

• working to contract
• not covering for absent colleagues
• removing uploaded materials related to, and/or not sharing materials related to, lectures or classes that will be or have been cancelled as a result of strike action
• not rescheduling classes and lectures cancelled due to strike action
• not undertaking any voluntary activities.

Inevitably, a lot of work will have piled up on your desks and in your inboxes during the seven days of strike so far. Please do not work yourself to exhaustion over the next couple of days trying to catch up. Observe the action short of a strike. Heriot-Watt will not deduct pay for the form of ASOS described above. So please join us.

We will hold a members meeting on Tuesday, 1 March at 12pm to provide an update on where we are in the disputes and next steps. We have invited Ann Swinney from UCUS and member of the HEC as a speaker. The meeting will be held via zoom. Details to follow.

If BSL interpreting is required please contact the on-campus BSL interpreting service to arrange this via marion.fletcher@hw.ac.uk.
