● UCU: Further Education colleges in England are being hit by the biggest wave of industrial action in the sector since national pay bargaining was abolished by the Tories in the 90s. UCU members in 26 colleges have voted for 10 days of strikes throughout September and October.

The action is in response to a derisory 2.5% pay offer from the Association of Colleges. College staff pay has already fallen by 35% over the last decade, and with the current cost of living crisis, lecturers and support staff are now facing even greater hardship as inflation heads towards 20%.

● DOCKERS. 500 Liverpool dockers will go on strike for a fortnight from Monday 19 September. They will be joined on Friday 23 September by a delegation of 1,900 Felixstowe dockers who will also be striking from Tuesday 27 September for eight days

● CRIMINAL BARRISTERS, members of the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) are continuing their industrial action with a continuous and indefinite strike.

● 96 RMT MEMBERS at ORSTED ENERGY in Barrow upon Furness and Birkenhead agreed two 48 hour stoppages in a row over pay.

Strike action took place on 23-24 September and again due on 30th September and 1st of October. The union is calling for an inflation-plus pay rise, and the RMT members feel that the Prospect union, recognised by the company, is not reflecting the frustrations of the workforce.

Strike action will begin on Tuesday 4 October and will run continuously until the pay dispute is resolved.
