Back to EpisodesUniversity Staff Strike for Fair Pay
Description
Unite union members at Edinburgh Napier University, along with colleagues at Glasgow and Strathclyde universities, are set to strike on April 10th over a proposed 1.4% pay raise, which they deem a real-terms pay cut amid soaring inflation. These non-academic staff have seen their wages drop by 30% in real terms since 2010, and unions are pushing for at least RPI plus 3% or £3,000, along with a £15 minimum hourly rate, in the next pay round. The strikes highlight growing discontent over low pay and working conditions in Scottish universities.
