UNIVERSITY lecturers are to stage a one-day strike in protest over pay.
Members of the country’s largest teaching union, the Educational Institute of Scotland, will take part in the walkout on 23 October.
Larry Flanagan, general secretary of the EIS, said: “Higher education lecturers have endured three successive years of real-terms pay cuts and have now signalled that they are not prepared to accept this year’s 1 per cent pay offer from their employers which, for the fourth successive year, is significantly below the rate of inflation.
“The EIS will continue to support all its members in defending their living standards, where they are prepared to take a stand against continuing attacks on education.”
