Solidarity with Striking UCU Members

Support the HE Strike Action – Four Fights and USS

London March and Rally 3 December

UCU members at 58 universities are taking strike action December 1st to 3rd over cuts to pensions, pay, and working conditions (see more). As they are doing this on behalf of the whole sector, including us at Richmond, we urge Branch members to act in solidarity with the striking colleagues. You can do this by:

  • donating what you can to the Fighting Fund
  • attending the upcoming Defend Education: Fight for the Future march and rally organised by the London Region UCU on 3 December.

Assemble: 12.30pm Tavistock Square, WC1 (outside UCEA/UUK offices)

Depart: 1.30pm March to City via Bloomsbury and Aldwych. Outdoor rally at Bank.

This will be the first proper opportunity that we have had this year to bring staff and students together across London to Defend Higher Education. The march will be going from UCEA/UUK HQ in Tavistock Square to Bank, where USS is based, and the HQ of NatWest Bank (in solidarity with Goldsmiths UCU). Route Map

The demonstration will start with an outdoor rally at 12.30-1.30 with speakers and culminate at the Bank / Corn Exchange steps having toured some of the City.
