Picketing sign up form for strike days 15 to 22 March is now open.

If you’re a member of the branch please sign up to join the picket lines.

If you’ve never picketed before, don’t worry, picket lines here tend to be friendly and not confrontational; you won’t be on your own; there may be cake. Signing up in advance helps the picket organisers with planning and to send you necessary information. There is an accessibility question on the sign up form (toilets and warm places to take a break are available from 9am; there are designated ‘quiet pickets’).

Picketing is from 7.30am (or as early as your can get there given your circumstances) until 11.30am, with a rally on the Parkinson steps at 11.30am.

Senior management of universities can stop these strikes by instructing their national negotiators to reach an agreement with the unions, but are choosing not to. The longer the picket line, the shorter the strike!
