Students at two colleges in Greater Manchester are set to face disruption to the start of their academic year. Staff at the colleges will be on strike for two days at the start of September.
The University and College Union (UCU) has announced that its members will walk-out on September 6 and 7 in a row over pay. UCU members also walked out in May and June.
The action at The Manchester College and Oldham College will take place during the induction week for the institutions. Staff in colleges in Burnley and Liverpool will also be on strike.
