Striking university staff are "angry" and "absolutely burnt out", a union official said as thousands walked out in a second day of strike action across Scotland.
Around 8,000 lecturers, librarians and researchers who are members of the University and College Union ( UCU ) continued their 48-hour walkout on Friday in an ongoing dispute over pay, pensions and conditions.
The UCU said many of its members are employed on precarious contracts which does not give them enough time for marking or supporting students.
