University of East Anglia: Strike action agreed over cuts to jobs
A turnout of 67% voted in the ballot, which was “the highest UEA’s UCU has ever achieved,” according to the union.
Staff passed a motion of no confidence in the UEA’s executive team in December over the same plans for redundancies.
The UEA last staged strike action over threats of redundancies in July 2023.
Nick Grant is an associate professor in international history at the UEA, and the co-chairman of the universities branch of the UCU.
He said strike action could happen as early as the end of the month.
“We want to continue to work with and negotiate with management through dispute resolution, but if we reach an impasse, we do have a clear mandate for industrial action,” he added.
