University staff UK-wide have entered the 4th week of striking in one of the biggest industrial actions of the sector. On March 12th, an agreement between the University College Union (UCU) and employers represented by Universities UK (UUK) was proposed and later rejected. The meeting discussing the proposal at the UCU North London Headquarters drew a crowd of hundreds of strikers protesting the deal.
Miia Laine for SOAS Radio spoke to some of the university staff present about their views and experiences of the strike and the proposed deal.
