University of Sheffield (UCU) Strike Calendar

A significant majority of participants in a ballot voted in favor of strike action, with a turnout of 61%.

One hundred percent of voters supported action short of a strike.

Key demands include a 12% pay increase for staff.

Staff are also seeking the inclusion of assessment marking time within the workload model for salaried employees and recognition as paid work for sessional staff.

Further requests involve granting five days of paid carers leave within a year and an extra five days of paid annual leave annually.

The college is managed by Study Group but maintains a close association with the University of Sheffield, using its branding for preparatory courses for overseas students.

These preparatory courses can cost students a substantial amount each year.

The staff believes management should collaborate to settle the disagreements.
