Stirling University’s principal has been urged to get involved in a long-running pension dispute which has seen staff walk out in recent weeks.
Recent strike action at the university organised by the University and College Union (UCU) was called over proposed changes to the University Superannuation Scheme, which some affected staff believe will lead to a 35 per cent cut in their retirement income.
An open letter, which has so far gathered 381 signatures, has now been published and slams the lack of response from the university’s management on the issue and calls on principal Professor Sir Gerry McCormac to make a statement urging a return to negotiations on the dispute.
