Important Information About the Ballots on Industrial Action Called by Unite and Unison

Additional information has been circulated to staff by email or letter where appropriate, regarding the USPS Review. It provides summary information on the project as well as some key FAQs. The message and summary information are both available on the USPS Review web pages at www.sheffield.ac.uk/uspsreview and clicking the ‘Quick Links’ on the right of the page.

The University Council will meet again on 18 May 2011 to consider revised proposals on changes to USPS following the consultation exercise.

The trade unions Unite and Unison have opened ballots on industrial action in relation to the proposed changes to USPS. These ballots are due to close on 18 and 20 May respectively.
