UNIVERSITY lecturers are to stage more strikes next month as a dispute over pay and conditions enters its second academic year.

University and College Union (UCU) members voted on Monday to take further industrial action before the end of September.

A marking boycott will continue and they are also preparing for a new ballot to restore their industrial action mandate, meaning that the disruption could continue into 2024.
