STAFF at the University of East Anglia (UEA) continued strike action today as part of an ongoing dispute over job cuts.

University and College Union (UCU) members began industrial action on Thursday, with walkouts set to continue until May 16.

The union said the decision followed months of negotiations during which UEA refused to rule out compulsory redundancies, even though hundreds of staff had already left through voluntary means, redeployment or resignation.
