Strike action will hit London Metropolitan University tomorrow (14 July), as more than 300 UNISON members display their disgust at job cuts.
The protest was planned after negotiations over voluntary redundancies broke down and 71.5 per cent of members voted in favour of industrial action.
The university is set to make 330 posts redundant by July 2010 and has approved just 113 applications for voluntary redundancy, leaving 226 posts facing the axe.
A further 200 vacant posts are to be lost over the same period, taking it to a total of 500 jobs, or 25 per cent of the staff.
The move follows the Higher Education Funding Council for England
