Staff at one of the country's biggest further education colleges are striking as part of a row over pay.
Manchester College's University and College Union (UCU) members began 12 days of industrial action on Monday (May 15) after backing the move overwhelmingly in a ballot. It comes after a pay offer of 2.7% - which the UCU say is the lowest for colleges in the North-West - was rejected by members against a backdrop of a cost of living crisis.
The college, which has a number of campuses around the city, said they have put in place contingency arrangements to minimise disruption to their students, and added they are 'eager to reach a pay settlemet at the earliest opportunity'.
