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 (unless notified). All members are encouraged to join the pickets-family, friends and supporters all welcome!
2026 Initial Strike dates:
2026 Further Strike dates:
Wednesday 18th, Thursday 19th and Friday 20th March SUSPENDED
Tuesday 24th, Wednesday 25th, Thursday 26th and Friday 27th March SUSPENDED
Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th, Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th April
Tuesday 21st, Wednesday 22nd, Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th of April
Campus Pickets:
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!
An updated 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. At a request of the Branch, this has now been increased from 50% to 75%, effective from Thursday 26th February. Online forms for members to claim strike pay for the first TEN days of strike action are now available and have been included in emails to members. There will be separate forms for members to claim strike pay for any subsequent strike dates.
