Another huge thank you to all those who are coming to the pickets and striking from elsewhere. We had another excellent Edinburgh turnout today including a new special guest – Eduphant the Scholiphant.

Wednesday will be the last of the current strike days. We will be hosting an Easter Egg hunt on the pickets and then we will move to Bristo Square for a joint rally with University of Edinburgh UCU from midday on.

Lets have a big turnout for both.

Action Short of Strike (ASOS)

After this block of strike action ends we return to ASOS. Broadly speaking this means not undertaking voluntary activities or working beyond your contracted hours. Detailed information about working to contract can be found in the FAQs for members on taking action short of a strike. The sector runs on unpaid labour so it is critical that members continue to observe ASOS to help keep the pressure up.

Negotiations

Your negotiators will next meet with University management on 8 April and we will keep you up-to-date on any developments. One aspect we will be putting to management is the accuracy of the data they are using to justify the cuts.
