Seventy-four UK universities will be hit with 14 days of strike action in February and March 2020.
The action will start on Thur 20 Feb and escalate each week, culminating with a week-long walkout from Mon 9 to Fri 13 March. The Department of Sociology has a strike information webpage to help provide information about the impact of the industrial action on lectures, supervisions and exams
In brief, most lectures taking place during the strike period will be cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Many undergraduate supervisions will continue during the strike period, although the dates and locations of those supervisions may be subject to change. We understand that this will cause a great deal of inconvenience, and care and concern for our students is at the heart of our considerations. The staff on strike have not chosen to do so lightly, and the Department believes it is in the short-term and long-term interests of both our students and our staff to defend the values of our teaching and learning community in the face of significant cuts.
