Upcoming industrial action in 2025
Sheffield UCU members have voted in favour for an industrial action strategy targeting the last three weeks of term.
This will consist of:
- Action Short of Strike from Monday the 28th April 2025
- One day of strike action on Wednesday 30th April 2025
- Followed by a 9 day walk out from Tuesday the 6th May until Friday the 16th May 2025, should the University fail to meaningfully commit to addressing our demands.
More information on what this means and how to take part is below.
