Staff at England’s biggest exam board to strike over pay

Union and AQA disagree about possibility of GCSE and A-level results being delayed by the action

Trade union members at England's biggest exam board will start a 72-hour strike over pay tomorrow, raising the prospect of delays to GCSE and A-level results.

AQA said it expected 65 staff members to walk out - representing 5% of the workforce - and insisted the action would not stop results arriving on time, which is the exam board's priority".
