Part of the largest strike action in the history of higher education
Over 100 University of Lincoln staff began strike action on Thursday over pay, pensions and conditions, saying this is “the shot across the bows to say that we are serious”.
Student Alex Thumwood and Dr Owen Clayton, Branch Chair of the UCU at the University of Lincoln, were among those taking part in the strike action. | Photo: Joseph Verney for The Lincolnite Another of the reasons is excessive workload with Owen saying: “53% of academics at universities are suffering with depression, many of them work two extra days for free, work seven days a week and don’t get paid for that.”
He said: “I’m striking because we’ve had below inflationary pay rises since 2009, which is coincidentally when I started teaching in universities. There were four picket lines in close proximity of the University of Lincoln. | Photo: Joseph Verney for The Lincolnite The strike was also supported by students including Alex Thumwood who was in attendance and wanted to illustrate that “students and staff are on the same side”.
