Wage slips for October 2023 will shortly be issued in both the University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art and this memo is intended to serve as a reminder of what you need to successfully claim national strike pay.

All members eligible to claim strike pay have been emailed a copy of the claim form they need to complete. 

What do I need to do to claim?


To help your branch make payments as quickly as possible, you need to do the following to claim national strike pay:

  • Your UNISON membership number
  • A completed claim form.
  • A full copy of your October 2023 payslip which clearly details your deducted wages.

Email both documents to us (preferably together) at unison@glasgow.ac.uk no later than: Friday 10 November 2023.

If we do not get the required information, this may delay your claim as we try to contact you.
