Teaching staff in further education colleges in Northern Ireland have voted to go on a one-day strike.
Lecturers at Stranmillis and St Mary's colleges also voted in favour.
Seventy-five per cent of those balloted in the further education colleges voted to strike but the turnout was low at only 28%.
The University and College Union (UCU) is the fifth teaching union to vote to join the public sector strike on 30 November.
The lecturers are in the teachers pension scheme and the UCU said they are angry at proposals to make them work longer and pay more into the scheme.
