Staff at The Sheffield College are set to go on strike this week in the first of four planned days of industrial action over an “insulting” pay offer.
The University and College Union (UCU) this morning announced that over 200 staff at the college could walk out this Friday, January 20, before further demonstrations on January 30, February 7 and February 9.
In addition, staff will work to rule from Monday next week, which means they will only work to their contracted hours, refusing to work additional hours or cover for other colleagues.
There are around 200 UCU members at the college who are eligible to strike. The union reported that its ballot had a 59 per cent turnout, with 87 per cent of those who voted wishing to strike.
