Today I am ON STRIKE. I'm striking because the University of Edinburgh has claimed the need for 'savings' in staff costs amounting to £90 million. The Union estimates this to be more than 1000 staff. (Not because of everyone being on 90k+, but because of the attendant 'savings' from mass layoffs)

But the funding has now been reinstated and STILL the University management claims the cuts are necessary. thetab.com/2025/06/11/e...

I had intended to head to the picket line, but I have the dog today and its very hot here at the coast so I can only imagine it's even hotter in Edinburgh so it just wouldn't be fair to him. But I will be joining the virtual picket line here on social media instead.
