爱丁堡大学讲师们投票决定罢工任务, 削减140万英镑, 风险为1 800个工作岗位, University of Edinburgh lecturers vote on strike mandate over £140M cuts risking 1,800 jobs, citing strong finances as unnecessary.

爱丁堡大学的讲师们正在就一项可能采取罢工行动的新任务进行表决,新任务涉及1.4亿英镑的拟议预算削减,这可能导致多达1 800人失业。 Lecturers at the University of Edinburgh are voting on a new mandate for potential strike action over proposed £140 million budget cuts that could lead to up to 1,800 job losses. 该争端始于2025年2月,引发了9天的罢工和2025年12月的一项协议,禁止在2026年7月之前强制裁员。 The dispute, which began in February 2025, prompted nine days of strikes and a December 2025 agreement banning compulsory redundancies until July 2026. 由于2025年《就业权利法》的修改,UCU现在寻求延长一项为期12个月的任务,以促使永久停止强迫解雇,理由是大学财政强劲,包括超过30亿英镑的储备金和一份2024-25年无赤字报告,使得削减变得没有必要。 The UCU now seeks a 12-month mandate—extended due to changes in the Employment Rights Act 2025—to push for a permanent end to forced layoffs, arguing the university’s strong finances, including over £3 billion in reserves and a non-deficit 2024–25 report, make the cuts unnecessary. 大学领导重申目前的协议,敦促继续对话,并警告进一步罢工可能扰乱学生和破坏稳定。 University leadership reaffirmed the current agreement, urged continued dialogue, and warned further strikes could disrupt students and harm stability.
