Academic staff from Tayside universities say they will be unable to keep up with the rising cost of living if their employers refuse to protect their pensions and up their pay.
Workers affiliated with the UCU trade union have walked out this week in the latest action over changes to Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) pensions that the organisation says will slash the average retirement fund by 35%.
The UCU has also asked employers to give all university workers a £2,500 pay rise.
