Glasgow university staff to rally in city centre ahead of strike over pension cuts

Staff at two Glasgow universities will walk out on Monday as a union begins 10 days of industrial action in its battle to stop what its leader has described as "brutal pension cuts".

UCU Scotland is set to hold a rally at the Buchanan Street steps from 12pm this afternoon, with the general secretary, students, NUS Scotland president Matt Crilly and others set to speak in support of industrial action.

Over the next five days university workers from Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot Watt, St Andrews, Stirling, Strathclyde and the Open University in Scotland will strike after the University and College Union (UCU) said they had "refused to withdraw cuts" to their pension scheme.
