ENU Dispute

EIS ULA members at Edinburgh Napier University (ENU) are taking strike action after university management refused to give staff a no compulsory redundancy guarantee.

Pickets will be held at all three campuses on each strike date. All members are encouraged to join the pickets-family, friends and supporters all welcome!

2026 Strike dates:

• Tuesday 10th and Thursday 12th February
• Monday 16th and Friday 20th February
• Tuesday 24th, Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th February
• Monday 2nd and Thursday 5th March

Campus Pickets:

• Craiglockhart Campus 219 Colinton Rd, Edinburgh EH14 1DJ
• Merchiston Campus 10 Colinton Rd, Edinburgh EH10 5DT
• Sighthill Campus 9 Sighthill Ct, Edinburgh EH11 4BN

Pickets start at 8.00am on each day of action. Placards, flags, leaflets, beanies, gloves and thermal cups all available from your picket line supervisor!

A guide to picketing for EIS members can be found at https://www.eis.org.uk/enu-dispute/picketing. I would ask all members to read this guidance, especially the use of the University’s parking facilities which I would extend to entering their premises.

For members who are attending pickets, we would welcome any pictures of you and your colleagues (and pets!) on the picket lines that the EIS can share through our social media platforms and use in wider communications. If you have any pictures that you wish to share, please send these to comms@eis.org.uk.

Strike Pay

Please remember that members are eligible to receive strike pay for each day of strike action taken during this dispute. This is the equivalent of 50% of your take-home pay. An online form for members to claim strike pay for Tuesday 10th, Thursday 12th, Monday 16th and Friday 20th February will be made available shortly after the strike date of Friday 20th February. There will be a separate form for members to claim strike pay for future strike dates.
