Solidarity

Hardship funds

Strike pay is deferred courage. The local fund and the national Fighting Fund exist so no member is forced back to work by an empty account.

Local strike fund

Essex UCU called strike action on 12–19 February, 5–11 March and 16–19 March 2026 — fifteen working days. Members who lost pay can apply to the local hardship fund. Accurate as of 26 March 2026.

You may also be eligible for the national UCU Fighting Fund. Use both if you need to. Solidarity is material.
