Unison says action over pay next week could hit students' results, but AQA insists it won't.
Staff at the AQA exam board will strike for three days next week over pay, their union says.The union claims that pupils and students waiting for exam results in England, Wales and Northern Ireland could face delays as a result.
Exam results for A-level students will be sent out on 18 August, while GCSE results day is 25 August .But AQA disputes that figure and says that while 3% was offered for "all staff" this year, the "average pay increase" would be 5.6%.That includes a "pro-rata payment of £500" and "an incremental increase" for staff not at the top of their pay grades, it said.
"Pay has been falling behind prices for years and 3% isn't a wage rise - with costs spiralling, it's a pay cut," she said.
