Eight days of strikes start on Monday at the University of Oxford. Members of the University and College Union from 60 universities from across the country will walk out starting Monday.
The strike action is due to a dispute over pay and working conditions which could not be resolved between the university representatives and the University College Union (UCU).

In the ballot of UCU members at the University of Oxford, 74% of those who voted backed strike action due to Universities' failure to make improvements on pay, equality, casualisation and workloads.
Staff will now be on the picket lines from 8.30 am across several sites in Oxford including the Clarendon Building, Radcliffe Observatory, the Old Road Campus and Said Business School.
UCU Oxford Co-President Aris Katzourakis, said: "Strike action is a last resort, but universities’ refusal to deal with absolutely key issues have left us with no alternative."
