Queen Margaret University Staff Strike | Edinburgh News

Queen Margaret University is in the thick of a major strike as staff from the University and College Union walk out during graduation ceremonies, demanding no compulsory redundancies and protecting research time amid proposed £4 million staff cost cuts over two years. With 92% of union members backing the action, the strike spans two days, featuring walkouts and refusal to cover for absent colleagues. Management insists the cuts are necessary, but staff argue they’re a choice—not a financial inevitability—and warn the reductions threaten academic workloads and livelihoods. This high-stakes standoff could reshape the future of the university. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
