University and College Union Members Engage in Two-Hour Strike

Members of the University and College Union, which represents librarians and other academic staff at post-secondary institutions across the United Kingdom, engaged in a two-hour strike today. The union had previously engaged in one-day strikes in coordination with other unions representing academic staff in the UK in response to the offer of 1% salary increases. The University and College Union plans on engaging in additional two-hour strikes on January 28 and February 6.
