Lecturers and researchers at Falmouth University are set to walk out for three days this month in a dispute over employment terms and conditions.
The University and College Union (UCU) said its members working at the Cornish university have voted in favour of strike action following a decision by the university to employ all new academic staff through a subsidiary company, Falmouth Staffing Ltd (FSL).
The union described the proposed arrangement would “make it harder” for it to represent members in FSL, describing it as “the beginning of an attack on hard-won national agreements.”
