STUDENTS at a central London university have occupied bosses’ offices in support of ongoing nationwide strike action by further education staff against attacks on pay, pensions and working conditions.

Management confirmed the main building at the Soas, University of London, campus in Bloomsbury remained closed today after students occupied the first floor on Wednesday.

Organisers, who confirmed that more than 30 students are now involved, said they wanted to express solidarity with striking University and College Union (UCU) lecturers and Unison support staff as they fight a 35 per cent pensions cut and real-terms wage falls of a fifth since 2010.
