Staff at the University of Nottingham will strike on 30 September and 1 October, as the university's governing council meets to decide the final Future Nottingham Phase 2 (FN2) restructuring plans.

This week is Pension Awareness Week, and Loughborough UCU is encouraging members to take a few minutes to check in with their pension arrangements.

Like many branches, LUCU relies on members who are willing to step forward and train as caseworkers. Casework can be challenging at times, but it is also one of the most rewarding ways to support colleagues and strengthen our union.

With workload pressures continuing to affect staff across the University, Working Safely: Building Collective Strength provides a practical opportunity to explore the impact of work on our wellbeing, understand employers’ responsibilities, and develop confidence in raising workplace concerns.

As we’ve entered a new tax year, it’s a great time to remind UCU members that you may be able to reduce the cost of your union subscription by claiming tax relief from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
