HIGHER education staff at Cardiff University are balloting for industrial action, their union said today, against proposed cuts of 400 jobs and the loss of four academic courses.

UCU Cardiff branch spokesman Andy Williams said the union had held a successful indicative ballot before Christmas and will now “be asking members to say yes to all-out strikes and action short of a strike, such as a marking boycott.” 

UCU also staff were joining the union in droves and were confident they would win a strike mandate.
