THOUSANDS of striking university staff are “absolutely burnt out,” a union official said on their second day of strike action yesterday.
More than 70,000 staff at 150 universities across the UK, who are members of the University and College Union (UCU), continued their 48-hour walkout on Friday in an ongoing dispute over pay, pensions and conditions.
The strike, which will also see members walkout on November 30, is the biggest in the union’s history and in higher education.
