At least half of all the colleges braced for a three-day strike next week have reached pay deals with their staff to stop the action.
Of the 30 colleges which had strikes scheduled for three days,15 called off the strikes by the end of play today (see list below).
Staff at the remaining 15 colleges will strike from Tuesday November 14 to Thursday November 16 – which comes just after the GCSE resit series but during the Association of Colleges annual conference.
The University and College Union would not disclose the agreed paid packages at the colleges, but said that they had agreed packages of at least 6.5 per cent – which is equal to the pay uplift recommendation made by the AoC in September.
