The University and College Union (UCU) today confirmed Barnet and Southgate College will be hit with two days of strike action later this month in an ongoing dispute over low pay.

UCU members at the college will walk out on Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 December.

The industrial action follows a ballot in which 98% of those that voted called for strike action.

Staff have already taken three days of action in October in the dispute over management's paltry 2% pay award for the previous two financial years (1% 2020/21 and 1% 2021/22). Inflation is currently at 14.2% and UCU is demanding a significant uplift to help staff meet the cost of living crisis.
