Here are all the universities that will be hit with lecturer strikes this term

Last term saw three days of lecturer strikes hit UK universities, with staff campaigning for better pay and pensions among other things. According to the University and College Union (UCU) the dispute remains unresolved.

University staff are set to go on strike this academic term at 68 universities, for up to 10 days in February.

To resolve the dispute, UCU is calling on employers to scrap the 35 per cent cut to staff pensions and to give all staff a £2.5k pay rise to combat “unmanageable workloads, pay inequality and insecure contracts across the sector”.

The exact days lecturers will be striking are:

• Monday 14 to Friday 18 February – pension dispute only

• Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 February – both pensions and pay disputes

• Monday 28 February to Wednesday 2 March – pay dispute only

Further strike action may also happen – preparations are being made for a UK-wide marking and assessment boycott, UCU says.

UCU general secretary Jo Grady said: “It is a damning indictment of the way our universities are managed that staff are being left with no option but to walk out again. For a sector that is worth tens of billions of pounds and enjoys record levels of student growth it is beyond disgraceful that in return staff get vicious pension cuts, falling pay and are pushed to breaking point under deteriorating working conditions.

“Time is quickly running out for vice chancellors to avert strike action, but it can be done. Staff need a proper pay rise, action to tackle insecure contracts, unsafe workloads and pay inequality, and for devastating pension cuts to be revoked. Any disruption that occurs will be the clearest indication yet that university bosses don’t value their staff.

“This wave of strike action is a fight for the future of higher education and staff are proud to stand alongside students in the fight for an education system that treats students and staff with respect.”
