A reminder that the branch position, decided in a general meeting, is that we should not cooperate with the strike reporting system on ESS (Employee Self Service) whilst the university continues to threaten to deduct additional pay for refusal to replace lost learning.

You may have seen over Easter that management at Queen Mary have withdrawn their threat and I have written to the vice chancellor, attaching the petition that many of you signed, to ask again for the University of Leeds to do likewise. I will keep you  posted.

In the meantime, please remember that whilst we are asking you to not use ESS, you should reply truthfully if asked whether you took strike action.
