Staff at the University of Bristol are due to go on strike next week for the fifth time in four years.
Alongside 73 other institutions, staff who are members of the University and College Union (UCU) are expected to take strike action over a period of three weeks starting next Monday, February 14, following a round of strikes before Christmas and in previous years as well.
However, the university has sparked outrage among staff for announcing that on the days they will be taking "action short of strike" - which the union defines as working to the letter of their contracts only - staff will be deducted 25 per cent of their pay for that day.
