Bradford College staff balloting for strike action
FURTHER EDUCATION staff at Bradford College will be balloted for strike action later this week, the University & College Union (UCU) announced today.
The dispute centres on a pay rise for 2021-22 of only £800, which is worth between just 2.2 and 2.5 per cent for most staff.
UCU regional official Julie Kelley said: “It is shameful that Bradford College wants to impose a huge real-terms pay cut on its staff in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis.
