There should be a joint statement from the five unions in the next day or so (which also mentions pay, jobs, and nationally agreed employment conditions).
For now, here is some further detail on what our dispute is about and what we UCU members will be balloted on nationally:

We are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. We are not just a cost to cut. We are not a quick way to save university managers from the consequences of their own decisions.
We are people, looking to live our lives, trying to keep ourselves and our families secure. We deserve to be able to do that.
