School disruption in Northern Ireland as Unite strike begins

BBC News says some school transport, meals and council bin collections will be disrupted by a week-long strike from Monday.

More than 2,000 members of the Unite union are taking action in a dispute over pay.

The Education Authority (EA) has said about 300 of its school bus routes are expected to face disruption.

Special schools are likely to be affected and at least one has said it cannot provide in-school teaching.

A union representing some university staff is also beginning a separate five-day strike.

Members of the University and College Union (UCU) previously took 10 days of strike action in February.
