Ballot for Industrial Action

UCU will be balloting members with regard to strike action and action short of a strike next week. Our next Branch meeting is therefore a very important meeting and is probably the most important meeting in the history of UEL and its union representation. The meeting will be held at Stratford on Wednesday 18th April (1.15-2.30) RB1.14.  We are asking all qualifying members from both sites (see UEL-UCU Branch Communications Protocol) to attend in order to discuss the opening of the ballot for Industrial Action next week at UEL along with other important developments at UEL.
