Stop the cuts! Fund Higher Education NOW!
Senior management at Durham University plan to make £20M savings in staff costs over the next two years. Durham University University and Colleges Union do not accept that the proposed cuts are necessary or inevitable.
We believe that management has a choice about how they make savings. In choosing to cut staff, University management is threatening people’s livelihoods and our ability to deliver world-class teaching and research.
Durham UCU is balloting for strike action to defend jobs and protect workloads.
Redundancies at Durham are not inevitable.
UCU represents and negotiates on behalf of academic and related staff at all stages of their careers, and with all types of employment contract.
Membership is open to all staff from grades 1 to 10.
Locally, Durham UCU negotiates on behalf of its members with the University, and is represented on a number of University committees.
Protect jobs, protect workloads.
