University of Edinburgh staff vote for strikes over planned budget cuts and potential job losses.

Staff at the University of Edinburgh have voted to support strike action due to planned £140 million budget cuts and potential job losses. The University and College Union (UCU) Scotland members voted 84% in favor of strikes, with a 60% turnout. Additionally, 93% backed other forms of industrial action. The union argues the cuts are unnecessary and have called for the university to use reserves to avoid job cuts. The university principal has not ruled out compulsory redundancies.
