On Wednesday 18 May lecturers at Furness College will strike after management refused to offer staff more than a paltry 1% increase in pay whilst staff face soaring inflation and a cost of living emergency.
Inflation is currently at 9%, meaning the 1% offer is a real term pay cut.
Staff will be picketing outside the main entrance of college from 8am Wednesday morning.
The strike comes after overwhelming 93% of University and College Union (UCU) members who voted in industrial ballots said yes to strike action.
Further days of strike action are planned for 8 and 9 June if management continues to refuse to pay staff more.
Since 2009 pay in further education has fallen behind inflation by 35% and the pay gap between school and college teachers stands at around £9k.
