Open University staff are undertaking a Marking and Assessment Boycott called by the University and College Union (UCU) as part of national action over pay and working conditions.
As a result of previous action there has been significant progress on restoring staff pensions, which had been slashed on average by 35%, so this dispute is on hold.
However staff are still fighting over our campaigns to restore pay against inflation, for meaningful national bargaining on ending insecure contracts, and for action to address excessive workloads and close the equality pay gaps.
Despite strike action earlier this year, progress has been insufficient. That is why the union has turned to a national Marking and Assessment Boycott (MAB) in the hopes of getting negotiations back on track.
