Industrial action notice
Industrial action is planned as follows until LU recognise your right to a safe, protected and financially safe future.

The right to strike is a fundamental human right. It gives workers dignity in employment; the right to protest without fearing for your job, your home, your family. It is what separates workers from servants.

WORK TO RULE AND OVERTIME BAN BETWEEN SUNDAY 8TH JULY UNTIL SUNDAY 15TH JULY

More information regarding work to rule will be sent out shortly.
