the University and College Union at University of Edinburgh have voted in favour of strike action in response to potential 1800 job loses and another round of massive cuts. (background here: https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/14418/New-strike-ballot-at-Edinburgh-University-in-dispute-over-cuts-and-job-losses, no announcement yet)

This is at Edinburgh, where the principal did not know **his own salary** when asked at a Scottish Parliament committee https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-university-boss-who-didnt-31811867. (It is almost 500k)

Another sign of broken higher education in the UK. Solidarity with UoE staff ✊

@millerdl This is obscene and shameful.

To be paid so much money that you don't know your salary when asked...

And some politicians think it's people on low incomes who are bad with money. We know every penny at our disposal. We have to.
