UCU uses its fighting fund to support members involved in disputes, including the provision of strike pay where appropriate.

UCU congress has recognised the current economic situation means it likely there will be a number of disputes to save jobs and services and protect conditions. It therefore recommended that members who could afford to do so should make an annual donation to the fighting fund to support others.

Congress suggested that an appropriate donation would be £25, depending upon members’ circumstances, but any donation to support colleagues in struggle is greatly appreciated and will be used directly to help members on strike.
