AFTER summer assessment strikes, staff at the University of St Andrews are to receive retrospective payment of withheld portions of their salaries before the next term begins.
For striking staff at St Andrews, participation in the MAB is done with the knowledge that a portion of their pay will be deducted for an indefinite period. Sixty miles away, students in Edinburgh expressed upset at a lack of grades and official graduation for final year students. A “pay your workers” chant began during July graduation in response to 2000 students being left without a degree.
The decision to pay staff for their summer indicates an increasing openness in administration at the university. Just before that, the UCU voted nationwide to continue the strikes through September, when the union will reconvene.
