Unison members voted to walk out after rejecting a pay rise offer of just over 3 per cent for most workers, rising to 9 per cent for those on the lowest pay bands.
The union – alongside other higher education unions – have called for a wage increase of 2 per cent plus inflation to help staff cope with the rising cost of living.
