Unite ballot for strike at University of Dundee
WORKERS at the crisis-hit University of Dundee are being balloted for strike action as more than a fifth of the workforce faces redundancy.
The university was plunged into turmoil in November when its senior management team announced a £30 million deficit before resigning en masse.
Since then the deficit has grown to £35m and last month acting Principal Shane O’Neill announced 632 full-time equivalent jobs were to be axed — the university has since confirmed at a Holyrood committee — affecting around 700 members of its 3,259 workers.
