Email sent to members on Thursday 5th February 2026. Please see your emails for zoom link and text of motion at members meeting.
Dear members,
Just a quick email with a couple of key bits of information to reinforce what was covered in our excellent newsletter yesterday.
Indicative ballot
This closes on Friday, and takes less than 30 seconds to complete. The stronger the turnout in this ballot the stronger our hand is in negotiation with the University, so please do vote. Thanks to everyone who has voted so far, and do check in with your colleagues to make sure they have too.
A reminder, the original email with the link to ballot (subject line ‘UoN UCU: Oppose job losses – protect your workload!’) was sent on 19th January from yoursay@ucu.org.uk. Please check your spam if you can’t find it in your inbox.
Members meeting
Just to inform you that we will have our next members meeting at 12 noon on Wednesday 18th February.
We have received a member motion. The meeting will provide a chance to discuss and vote on this motion. There will also be time to give feedback on how the dispute meetings are going with management, keep you updated on our consultation on the promotion pause, and answer any other questions you may have.
Nick, on behalf of the branch committee
