The national strike day will be followed by further local strikes, UNISON say.
More than 2000 support staff in colleges across the country - including Ayrshire College- are to walk out on September 7, says UNISON.
Those set to down tools next week include librarians, IT specialists, technicians, administrative and business support staff, cleaners, canteen workers and estate management staff. Staff who belong to UNISON voted overwhelmingly to strike in April, with 93 per cent of a 62 per cent turnout voting in favour of industrial action.
Chris Greenshields, UNISON further education branch secretary, said: “College staff were due this pay increase a year ago. It’s unacceptable, even by the standards of the college sector, to take this long to agree a pay deal. The employers’ idea of a resolution to the crisis is to threaten our members with compulsory redundancy.
