Staff at Liverpool John Moores University will down tools on Friday in the first of eight days of strike action in response to the university's enforcement of 50% wage deductions for staff taking part in the marking boycott.
Friday's strike will hit a key university open day, and staff will rally outside Metropolitan Cathedral, next to the university's John Foster building from 1pm.
The full days of strike action are:
- Week 1: Friday 16 June
- Week 2: Thursday 17 and Friday 18 August
- Week 3: Monday 18, Tuesday 19, Wednesday 20, Thursday 21 and Friday 22 September
Management at John Moores has started docking the pay of staff who are boycotting marking by 50% despite the fact that staff continue to teach, support students, write references, provide pastoral care, undertake research and attend public events.
