Workers strike against University of Strathclyde pension ‘cash grab’

Cleaners, joiners, electricians, plumbers and security staff at the university voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action last month in response to management proposals to remove them from the Strathclyde Pension Fund and into the Universities Superannuation Scheme.
