October

UCU Strike

A day of joint strike action at Queen’s University Belfast has been called by the UCU, UNISON and UNITE trade unions on Thursday 31 October 2013.

Queen’s Students’ Union extends solidarity to the strike action on staff pay. QUBSU values the role of academic and support staff and their contribution to Higher Education, and we hope for a speedy resolution to the ongoing dispute.

We believe that Higher Education should be properly funded and this should include appropriate pay and conditions for academic and support staff.

UCU will use Queen’s Students’ Union on Thursday 31 October at 1PM for an open meeting that any student can attend to support staff in their strike.
