Strike two: BU staff to picket tomorrow over pay

Some lecturers and staff at Bournemouth University confirmed that they would go on strike again on December 3rd over pay claims.

The ‘campaign for fair pay’, organised by Unison, the University and College Union, Unite and the Educational Institute of Scotland, argues that the pay has been cut by 13% since October 2008.

University employers, including Bournemouth University, offered a 1% pay rise to the staff, which has been rejected. The dispute caused a first strike on Thursday, October 31st.

If you are going to have a free day tomorrow, here is what The Tab recommends for tonight:
