Four more colleges have called off strikes due to begin tomorrow – leaving 11 set to go ahead with three days of action.
City of Liverpool College, Runshaw College and Warrington & Vale Royal College have all abandoned strike action after settling pay disputes with bosses. Weymouth College has meanwhile suspended the action while it consults on a new offer.
All of those colleges have pay awards of 6.5 per cent, except Runshaw College which reached a deal worth 7.52 per cent.
The University and College Union balloted nearly 90 colleges for strikes earlier this term, but just 30 voted for the action. Since results were announced in October, 19 of those proposed strikes have been called off.
