Staff from Blackburn and West Lancashire Colleges are on strike for ten days in a dispute over pay
Staff members are from Blackburn College and West Lancashire College, as well as 17 other colleges from across England. The University and College Union has orchestrated the strike action which started on Monday and will last 10 days in total.
UCU general secretary Jo Grady said: "Strike action on this scale in further education is unprecedented. But our members have been left with no other option, they are being pushed into poverty by college bosses who refuse to raise pay to help them meet the cost-of-living crisis. The Union claims that since 2009, pay for those working in further education has fallen behind inflation by 35%, with the pay gap between school and college teachers at around £9,000. This summer, the Union reported that the vast majority of college staff are financially insecure which is impacting on the mental health of more than eight in 10.
