University Staff's long-running dispute over pay

On Tuesday 19th September, I stood in solidarity with University of Glasgow's staff on strike for fair pay deal. Striking is always the last resort. The last thing that staff want to do is harm students' education.

From speaking with staff, it is clear that they have experienced a massive real terms pay cut relative to inflation over the last 14 years. Due to the cost of living crisis and increased bills, they are unable to live on the money offered by employers.
