Fifty days of strikes for Telford
More than 50 days of strike action will take place from Wednesday over plans to cut 50 jobs at Edinburgh's Telford College.
Principal Miles Dibsdall said he was "deeply disappointed" by the move. However, almost 90 per cent of lecturers at the college voted for action. Ronnie Smith, EIS general secretary, said: "Staff are taking this strike action as a last resort."
Meanwhile members of the University and College Union (UCU) at Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen protested at its decision to derecognise the UCU and Unite unions. Mary Senior, Scottish official for UCU, said: "We are now asking the board to review that decision."
Job cuts are also planned at St Andrews University. It has warned staff of a risk of redundancy.
