Lecturers at the University of Edinburgh are set to walk out in a dispute over the university’s refusal to rule out “unacceptable” compulsory redundancies as part of plans to save £140 million.
The action will see members of the University and College Union (UCU) strike during an open day on June 20, followed by a further five-day walkout in September to coincide with the university’s “welcome week” for new students.
