Strike Schedule, Autumn 2026

Dundee UCU is taking discontinuous industrial action in September and October 2026.

Dundee UCU will have an in-person morning picket from 8 am – 11.30 am in front of the Tower Building on Perth Road everyday of the strike. Please join us with your determination, humour, stories, baked goods, pets, and most of all, your solidarity and support for staff on strike and the students who support us.
