UCU is the largest trade union and professional association for academics, lecturers, trainers, researchers and academic-related staff working in further and higher education throughout the UK.  It was formed in 2006 by the amalgamation of the Association of University Teachers and NATFHE - The University & College Lecturers' Union.
