STRIKES are due to hit 150 universities and colleges on Thursday as lecturers and support staff launched co-ordinated action after more than a decade of attacks on their wages, pensions, working conditions and jobs.
More than 70,000 lecturers walked out in what their union said was the “biggest strike in the history of higher education.”
The University and College Union (UCU) predicted a “historic turnout on picket lines” and the National Union of Students (NUS) urged its members to join them.
