The University and College Union (UCU) has today (Tuesday) announced that staff at Falmouth University will take three days of industrial action over the decision by the university to employ all new academic staff through a subsidiary company, Falmouth Staffing Ltd (FSL).
UCU members will walk out for three consecutive days from Monday October 17th until Wednesday October 19th to defend the employment status of staff teaching at the university if management does not reverse its decision.
The announcement comes after 90% of members who voted said yes to strike action to protect hard-won terms and conditions for all academic staff at the university and push back against a two-tier workforce.
