Hide AdMembers of the University and College Union (UCU) will go on strike on 18 days between February and March:
February 1 - when train drivers, civil servants and some teachers are also planning to strike
February 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 27 and 28.
March 1, 2, 16, 17, 20, 21 and 22.
The union also said it would re-ballot staff at all 150 universities. That could see the dispute extend well into 2023 if the support for strikes continues.
Academic staff and those in other professional roles including administrators, librarians and technicians are taking part.

Hide AdStaff walked out on three strike days in November, and some universities also took part in strike action earlier in 2022 and in 2021.
That also included industrial action short of a strike, such as not covering for absent colleagues, refusing to make up for work lost to strike action and working to rule.
