Glasgow university workers are set to strike as they 'struggle to meet household costs' after working through the pandemic.
UNISION Scotland members working at the University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University have all voted in favour of industrial action over pay. Cleaners, library workers, administrators and IT technicians are among those who 'kept universities running' while Scotland was tight in the grip of Covid-19.
It is these staff members who are part of UNISON Scotland and will be among those who walk out. Joining the Glasgow strikers are those from Edinburgh Napier and Robert Gordon in Aberdeen. Members at the Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen as well as Heriot Watt University also voted for industrial action but missed the 50 per cent turnout threshold by 'the very narrowest of margins' according to union chiefs.
