Action Short of a Strike – marking and assessment boycott withdrawn

On Tuesday, we informed you of the Action Short of a Strike that will begin on Monday 23 May.

Today we received written confirmation from the University and College Union (UCU) that they are withdrawing the boycott of all marking and assessment processes from their list of action short of a strike for both disputes, but will continue with the other actions short of a strike.

UCU members still intend to undertake the following actions:

  • Only working their contracted hours and duties and not volunteering to do more;
  • Not rescheduling classes and lectures cancelled due to strike action;
  • Not covering for absent colleagues; and
  • Removing uploaded materials related to, and/or not sharing materials related to, lectures or classes that will be or have been cancelled as a result of strike action.

We will continue to update our community via SUSSED News and locally cascaded briefings. Information for staff and students will be on our Industrial Action SharePoint site, including FAQs, which we will continue to update as the situation evolves.
