During February and March 2018 the higher education trade union, University and College Union (UCU), carried out industrial action at Sussex and more than 60 other universities in a national dispute over the future of Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). The USS is one of a range of pension schemes available to University staff.
In April, UCU members voted in a ballot to accept a proposal put forward in March. As such this suspended a second wave of industrial action, and action short of a strike.
