There will now be a further 14 days of strike action between Thursday 20th February and Friday 13th March. This means we will miss at least 3 weeks of classes at a critical time of the year for our education.

So to the management: we are demanding compensation!!

We urge the University to try and resolve this ongoing issue.

We want the University of Bristol to reimburse all students for teaching and learning time lost due to the planned strikes. Additionally, we want the University to listen to lecturer and student demands and work with the UCU to find an amicable solution to the threats our lecturers currently face: concerns about pay, casualisation, working conditions, the gender pay gap, racial inequality, workloads and pensions.

As students, we support our lecturers and University staff who choose to take industrial action to protect their- and our- futures and interests. However, we feel that we should be compensated by the University of Bristol for the fact that we are missing extremely valuable time and resources from our education.

Similar petitions are being signed across the country as it seems the only resort left to ensure that our voices our heard!
