AUT/ NATFHE merger
 Members of NATFHE – the university and college lecturers' union and the Association of University Teachers have voted overwhelmingly for the two unions to merge and create the world’s largest industrial relations’ body for post-school academic and academic-related staff. The merged organization is to be called the University and College Union.
The merger was supported by 95.7 per cent of those NATFHE members who voted, and 79.2 per cent of AUT members who took part in the ballot.
UCU, with more than 116,000 members, will represent further and higher education lecturers, managers, researchers and
many academic-related staff such as librarians, administrators
and  computing professionals across the UK.
The two unions will amalgamate on 1 June 2006. The merger is due to be completed a year later.
