UWE academics strike

Following a 66% vote in favour, University and College Union (UCU) members at the University of West England in Bristol have struck over a management restructure that would cut some academic posts by 25% and force existing staff to reapply for their own jobs.

The strike action is the first in the UCU branch’s history, and was bolstered by a flash occupation of UWE students which took control of a central campus location. The Core24 site was previously occupied for nearly a month in the November-December 2010 wave of student occupations.
