4 May 2022

Bosses of six colleges in the North West have been told to urgently raise staff pay if they want to avoid strike action on 18 May, the day many GCSE students are due to take a crucial English exam.

The six colleges facing a day of strike action on Wednesday 18 May are:

  • Burnley College  
  • Bury College  
  • City of Liverpool College
  • Hopwood Hall  
  • Nelson & Colne College Group
  • Oldham College

UCU expects around 900 staff at the colleges to down tools, and over 50,000 students could be impacted. If the strike goes ahead exams will be disrupted.
