The University and College Union (UCU) confirmed three consecutive days of strike action will go ahead from Tuesday 14 February at 150 universities whilst talks with the employers over pay and working conditions continue.
Over 70,000 staff are striking at 150 universities on Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 February. The disputes are over pay and conditions, and also pensions.
UCU entered Acas negotiations with the employer representative on Monday 13 and Tuesday 14 February.
The union is calling for employers to make a well-rounded offer, including commitments on casualisation and workload, as well as pay, which it can put to members.
