Unite and Unison Industrial Action Update

The trade unions Unison and Unite have informed the University of their intention to call for strike action on Friday 3 June and Friday 10 June.

The University will be open on both days of proposed strike action and it will do its utmost to minimise the impact on students and to ensure business continuity.

The University is committed to an ongoing dialogue with trade unions and will continue to meet with representatives and attempt to resolve the dispute.
Guidance for staff in relation to strike action is available on our web pages at http://www.shef.ac.uk/hr/reward/unison_unite/action.html.
