Stirling University staff walk out over wage cut following marking boycott

Staff at Stirling University are taking part in three days of strike action over a decision to deduct half their wages for taking part in an ongoing marking and assessment boycott.

The walkout began yesterday (Tuesday) and will run through until Thursday in protest at the move from the university - and follows similar strikes at other universities including Edinburgh, Dundee, and Queen Margaret.

The boycott began on April 20 as part of the Universities and College Union’s dispute over what it describes as a real-terms cut in its latest pay offer and complaints over working conditions including casualisation, unmanageable workloads and pay gaps.
