• This NATIONAL ballot is entirely separate from the local issues in my previous email today

• NATIONALLY UCU have voted with 57.8% turnout in the NATIONAL industrial action ballot over pay, precarity and inequalities. The ‘Yes’ vote was 81.1%.

• NATIONALLY UCU have voted with 60.2% turnout in the NATIONAL industrial action ballot over USS pensions. The ‘Yes’ vote was 84.9%.

• This was an aggregated ballot, meaning every single eligible institution can take industrial action, giving us far more leverage. As Jo Grady just said in the live announcement, this will be the first time that all universities will be able to strike together.
