Edinburgh University lecturers begin five-week strike over cuts

Lecturers at the University of Edinburgh have started a five-week strike in protest at planned job cuts and cost-saving measures. The industrial action is expected to disrupt teaching for students, with the university and union at odds over how to manage budget pressures. The strike adds to a wave of disputes over redundancies across UK higher education.

Why now: The long strike duration and its disruption to students make it a major development in UK higher education disputes.
