IMPORTANT: We are the University HE industrial action ballot is closing soon In UK higher education, UCU is conducting an industrial action ballot involving 137 universities/higher education institutions (corresponding to 145 UCU branches). This HE ballot is conducted as a postal vote, as required by law. There is no online option to vote. The HE ballot is closing on Friday 28 November. Ballot eligible HE members should have received postal ballot packs at their preferred mailing address. The postal ballot pack looks like this (pink, with UCU and Civica Election Services branding). HE members must then return their vote by post to Civica Election Services using the pre-paid envelope, like these two UCU members are doing (with thanks to University of Glasgow UCU). If you still have your HE postal ballot in hand, please vote as soon as possible. Wednesday 26 November is the last 'safe' date to post the HE ballot. If you have not received a HE postal ballot, you can request a replacement via this form--please note that this form is for HE only and will close on Sunday 23 November (23:59). You will need your unique UCU membership number which is 85177. If you have already voted, please click here to let UCU know; this will be an enormous help with UCU's 'get the vote out' activities.
