    Bradford College staff are set to walk out again as a pay row continues.

    Members of the University and College Union (UCU) at Bradford College will be taking the strike action on Tuesday 29 January and Wednesday 30 January.

    The latest walkouts come after college staff initially went on stirke for two days in November.

    The UCU said the dispute centres “on the failure of the college to make a decent pay offer to staff who have seen the value of their pay decline by 25% in the past decade.”

    UCU members are walking out at 16 colleges in England. The union said further strikes were planned if the college refused to make a decent offer.

    UCU regional official Julie Kelley said: “UCU members at Bradford College are being forced to take more strike action to secure fair pay. Staff have had enough of increasing workloads while their pay is eroded. The college needs to prioritise its staff and come back to us with a meaningful offer. If it refuses then further strikes are on the cards.”
