Dundee University staff set to strike over pensions dispute

Staff at the University of Dundee are set to take industrial action for the second time over a pensions dispute.

Unite Scotland stated that its members at the university will take part in continuous strike action from 25 August after 83% said they supported the move, in a ballot with a turnout of 66%.

The row arose after the university proposed the closure of its defined benefit pensions scheme to Grades 1-6 and replace it with a defined contributions scheme in March 2021, which the union said meant the lowest-paid workers faced losing up to 50% of their pension.
