"College staff are set to take unprecedented strike action because they cannot go on being paid so little," UCU's general secretary Jo Grady said.

"Inflation is soaring and college bosses have more money at their disposal than they have had in years, yet they are refusing to protect their staff from the cost-of-living crisis."
