WORKERS at the University of Edinburgh will begin voting on industrial action on Monday in a dispute over £140 million cuts and the refusal to rule out compulsory redundancies. 

University and College Union (UCU) members will vote over the next seven weeks.

If backed, it could lead to strikes or industrial action short of strike such as working to contract, refusing voluntary duties and not covering for absent colleagues.
