Staff at Richmond upon Thames College have announced another round of strikes over a row about “fire and rehire” plans – this time for 14 consecutive days that clash with the first teaching week of the next academic year.
University and College Union members said they will down tools over a three-week period in August and September in response to management plans to “sack every teacher at the college and force them to reapply for their jobs on worse terms and conditions if they want to stay”.
The announcement comes as staff take a further day of strike action today aimed at disrupting an open day taking place at the college.
