College teachers to strike on days students take critical GCSE exams

Staff at a college in Liverpool are set to strike over two separate days when students across the country will be sitting some of their most important GCSE exams.

Unionised staff at the City of Liverpool College have confirmed that they will be striking on Tuesday, June 7 and Friday, June 10, when students at the college and across the country will be sitting crucial Maths (Tuesday) and English (Friday) GCSE exams.

The two days of strike follow previous action taken on Wednesday, May 18 - the day of another crucial GCSE English exam - by members of the Universities and Colleges Union (UCU) at the college. The UCU are demanding college bosses increase pay by at least 8.5% to match the ongoing cost of living crisis.
