## Resource

Glasgow Caledonian University braces for strike action starting today as staff walk out over looming job cuts amid claims of a $10 million deficit. The university blames fewer international students, but unions argue the shortfall is projected—not real—and that compulsory redundancies are unacceptable. With 79% of UCU members voting in favor of strike action, staff fear management is choosing profit over people, especially since the university reports surpluses and holds cash reserves. Officials say consultations are ongoing and no final decisions have been made, but unions warn this is only the beginning unless management truly listens and drops the threat of forced layoffs.
