Higher Education workers walked out last week in a national dispute over pay.
UCU members staged a two-hour strike on 28 January in protest against the government’s pay offer of only 1% increase. The strike was the second of three stoppages planned by the union. Student activists joined workers on picket lines at a number of campuses, although some students at Warwick organised “student lectures” to fill in for striking staff. The UCU urged students concerned about missing lectures to lobby management to resolve the dispute, rather than undermining workers' protests.
The third, day-long strike will take place on 6 February.
