Staff at Glasgow School of Art will join colleagues from Glasgow University on strike in a row over pay.
The one-day walk-out taking place today (April 24) will see staff hold picket lines at both higher education institutions, UNISON has said.
It is the second time this month that Glasgow University staff have taken action.

Support staff, including administrators, cleaners, receptionists and librarians, will strike after university bosses refused to improve on a below inflation 1.4% pay increase.
University workers have called the offer "insulting", and say it comes on the back of years of wage deals that have fallen behind rising bills, and during a cost-of-living crisis.
Staff salaries have dropped by 20% in real terms over the past decade, says UNISON.

Jacq Coyle Dow, UNISON Glasgow School of Art branch convener, said: "The Scottish government is keen to talk up the success of the arts but falls short when it comes to investing in Scotland’s universities.
"This below-inflation pay increase has left staff with no choice but to join the fight for fair pay."
Sophie Watson, UNISON University of Glasgow branch chair, added: "We welcomed recent talks with the university, but they have to offer us a fair pay increase.
"The last thing staff want to do is strike but a below-inflation pay award is simply another pay cut."
Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University have been contacted for comment.
