Staff at Havant and South Downs College (HSDC) will strike tomorrow and Thursday in an ongoing dispute over low pay amid the cost-of-living crisis.
Staff will be picketing main entrances to the college each strike day.
The college's pay award is worth just 3% for most college lecturers, who earn £30k - £40k. It also made a one off payment, which was only £400 for most staff. Inflation is 13.5% meaning staff are suffering a huge real terms pay cut.
The National Education Union (NEU) will be joining UCU on both days of strike action, following strikes at the college in February of this year.
Last summer, UCU produced a report that shows the vast majority of college staff are financially insecure, impacting the mental health of more than eight in 10 with many being forced to skip meals and restrict hot water use to save money. Seven in 10 said they will leave the sector unless pay and working conditions improve.
