The University of Nottingham says it is disappointed that some of its staff members will be going on strike
as part of a nationwide demand for better pay and conditions. The University and College Union announced on Tuesday that more than 70,000 staff at 150 universities would be going on strike for three days later this month.
Jo Grady, the general secretary of the UCU, said: "Campuses across the UK are about to experience strike action on a scale never seen before. 70,000 staff will walk out and make clear they refuse to accept falling pay, cuts to pensions and insecure employment."This is not a dispute about affordability - it is about choices.
"We have already implemented local pay increases on top of the UCEA national award, to provide a further 3% uplift for colleagues in addition to the national award of 3%. We are also implementing a three-year pay award for lower paid staff of 16.5% that exceeds any other offer available in the higher education sector.
