University of Nottingham staff to strike on 22 May over more than 600 proposed job cuts
TodayLast Updated:
The University and College Union has called a one-day strike at the University of Nottingham on Thursday 22 May 2026, with picket lines from 08:00. The action is part of a longer-running dispute over the second phase of the university's restructuring, which UCU warns could cut more than 600 jobs. The Nottingham campaign is one of several UCU local disputes (alongside Sheffield, Leicester and Edinburgh Napier) where compulsory redundancies are at issue.
