Tens of thousands of staff at 150 universities across the UK are striking again in February and March.

The action is being taken over pay, working conditions and pension cuts.

Members of the University and College Union (UCU) will go on strike on 18 days between February and March:

  • 1 February - when train drivers, teachers and civil servants are also planning to strike
  • 9 and 10 February
  • 14, 15 and 16 February
  • 21, 22 and 23 February
  • 27 and 28 February
  • 1 and 2 March
  • 16 and 17 March
  • 20, 21 and 22 March

The union also said it would re-ballot staff at all 150 universities. That could see the dispute extend well into 2023 if the support for strikes continues.

Academic staff and those in other professional roles including administrators, librarians and technicians are taking part.
