## Resource

Over 3,000 University of Edinburgh staff are preparing for a five-week strike starting September 28th to demand no compulsory job cuts amid a $140 million restructuring plan. Frustrated by rising workloads and uncertainty, the union—calling the cuts “academic vandalism”—is escalating pressure after previous actions fell short. They’re pushing management for a firm pledge on job security and meaningful consultation to protect both livelihoods and education quality before students return.
