Strike action has been confirmed at 29 more colleges across England, bringing the total that will be picketing this autumn to 39.
The University and College Union this week confirmed 29 of the 33 colleges balloting on strikes have agreed to industrial action, held after refusing to accept a 2.5 per cent pay offer recommended by the Association of Colleges.
The UCU wants a 10 per cent rise with a minimum uplift of £2,000.
It reported that the ballot was 89.9 per cent of members voting in favour of strike action, from an overall turnout of 57.9 per cent.
