Students and staff have occupied a floor of a University of Liverpool building.
The group, UoL Student-Staff Solidarity, announced on social media it had occupied the top floor of the Teaching Hub 502 building on Mount Pleasant in the city centre on Wednesday, March 15, and also claimed to have stayed in the building overnight. The demonstration was done as both students and staff at the university demanded the end of "degrading pay and working conditions".
In a statement released by the group, it said: "For 10 years, staff at our university have gone on strike. Last year a student referendum found students overwhelmingly in favour of the strike action. The staff and students are united. We will no longer accept the degrading pay and working conditions of our lecturers while our vice chancellor sits on over 300k per year.
