General Strike Anniversary
Angry college staff to strike over abysmal pay

ANGRY college staff across the West Midlands will stage strike action from tomorrow over poor pay and conditions.

Members of University and College Union (UCU) at the City of Wolverhampton College and the Warwickshire College Group will strike for two days from today and Coventry College staff will walk out for three days.

The workers claim that college bosses across the region have failed to negotiate a fair pay offer or address serious workplace issues such as chronic work overload and stress.
