Majority of campus branches refuse to take part in action scheduled for 25-29 September
The University and College Union has backed away from UK-wide strikes scheduled for next week, after two-thirds of campus branches declined to take part.
Lecturers, librarians and technicians at just 42 universities will walk out for five days from Monday, out of the 140 expected to take part when the UCU announced the industrial action earlier this month. A further 10 universities will hold strike action on at least one day next week.
