More than 200 workers at Staffordshire University are on strike today in an ongoing dispute over pension changes.

The union Unison says around 530 staff in roles like cleaning, admin and security face a drop in their pension value because they've been moved from their local government defined benefit scheme.

A spokesman for the university said: "We are able to provide these staff with a non-contributory pension, with the university contributing 7% as the basic entry level pension.

"In addition, the university will contribute up to a further 3% dependent on how much the individual wishes to save for their own pension. These changes have not been taken lightly."
