Students Support the Strikes

A great turn-out for this first day of the latest wave of strike action. Support and hot drinks provided by our amazing Heriot-Watt Student Union and the Society for Progressive Students. A big thank-you to all.

Last week, Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) made a new offer in pay negotiations. Unfortunately, it failed to meet our demand for fair pay and better working conditions. Our vice chancellors are getting rich by ripping off staff and students. The fight continues. Next week we will on strike on Thursay and Friday and this action will continue to escalate until our employers come back with a fair offer.

If you have been affected by the strike action please write to the Principal and ask that he use his considerable influence to ensure that we all get treated fairly.
