UCU Higher Education Committee met today and confirmed the next steps to be taken nationally by UCU members following the ballot results last week.

• Seek immediate negotiations with the employers representative bodies to avoid industrial action
• Notify the employers of the intention to hold three days of industrial action at the end of November
• If a negotiated settlement is not agreed then to escalate action in the New Year to include a marking boycott in January and further strike action from February.
