Across UK universities, we’re seeing union members undertaking a massive wave of industrial action in recent weeks. Currently, over 65,000 University and College Union (UCU) members are having their say on potential nationwide university strikes.

The ballot opened back on 30 October, and will run up until 28 November. The union will aggregate the results across  137 institutions. As such, should the majority of members wish it, we could see strikes on every one of those 137 campuses in 2026.

Meanwhile, the UCU declared strike action at both Lancaster and Derby universities this week, with Northumbria also taking a step closer to strikes of its own by declaring a dispute with management.
