The strike last Thursday was a great success, and Steve West has finally acknowledged that his negotiation strategy (and his team in charge of it) were a complete disaster. He has more or less admitted that he has misinformed the public with his update before the strike (more on that soon), and has finally agreed to get personally involved in negotiations, which will now be taken to ACAS. As a consequence, UCU at UWE has suspended strike action following an Extraordinary General Meeting yesterday, and will now take its list of demands to ACAS.
There has been good media coverage of the strike on Thursday, the best of which is this video:

More soon!
