Strike action at Hopwood Hall College has been called off after staff accepted a pay rise worth up to 7.5 per cent.
University and College Union members at the college in Rochdale were due to be on the picket line from 8am today and Friday along with four other colleges in the north west.
The colleges already saw a round of strike action last month in this dispute over low pay, with UCU demanding increases of at least 8.5 per cent to meet the cost-of-living crisis.
Hopwood Hall staff called off their walk out today after voting to accept a pay offer that for 2022/23 amounts to 6.49 per cent for all lecturers and 7.52 per cent for lecturers on the lowest salaries.
