STAFF at Sheffield Hallam University are set for more strikes today after bosses began deducting 100 per cent of wages in response to a marking and assessment boycott.

The workers, who walked out for two days last week, downed tools for the first of three days today ahead of another two-day strike from next Wednesday. 

Despite continuing to “teach, lecture and support students as normal,” employees are refusing to mark work and exams amid a national dispute over plummeting take-home pay and attacks on pensions and working conditions. But they are now missing out on their entire wage packet, the union warned.
