Northern Ireland university students face more disruption as staff set to strike

Students attending Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University could face disruption over the coming weeks as some staff are expected to take part in 18 days of strike action.

Members of the University and College Union (UCU) will take to the picket lines on various dates during February and March in a dispute over pay, working conditions and pensions.

The union, which represents lecturers and support staff, said over 70,000 staff at 150 universities across the UK will take "unprecedented strike action" over 18 days having previously held three days of action last November.
