Birmingham UCU strike hardship fund

November 2022 --

Birmingham UCU members are striking for fair pensions; fair pay; sensible workloads; an end to widespread casualisation and insecure employment; and to close the substantial gender and ethnicity gaps in higher education.

We are fundraising in order to be able to alleviate the financial hardship our members, many of whom are employed on insecure and hourly paid contracts, will experience as a result of taking strike action.

Your generosity will allow our less well-off members to take part in the strike, increasing the effectiveness of our action and increasing the likelihood of a positive negotiated outcome over pay, pensions and working conditions.

Andrew Olson-Vice President, Birmingham University Branch of the UCU

Hardship donations are transferred electronically to BUCU accounts to be paid to members according to branch rules for hardship support.
