Five more days of strikes will take place for University of Bristol's support staff, UNISON has announced. Bristol University's higher education workers, including those in student support, administration services, library services, IT and admissions, will walk out for five consecutive days of action from Thursday, June 15 until Monday, June 19.
The union says that the further strikes are down to an "insulting" pay offer, which "falls a long way short of inflation and staff deserve more". The 2023/24 pay offer is worth 5-8% depending on salary, with a higher percentage rise for lower-paid workers.
Some of this amount - around £83 per month before tax - was paid early to staff in February to help with the increasing cost of living. University of Bristol staff took action in September, November, February and earlier this month.
