    That guy has a basic salary of £342,000 so he's laughing.

    Just as well he gets a 5-bedroom "grace and favour" house in central Edinburgh as well then - how would he cope otherwise?

    The only reason to pay anyone that sort of money is so that they'll do things they know to be wrong.

    also very weird ideas that guy has about when a process is or isn't working?

    UCU/Lecturers secured an agreement the last time they were out on strike but employers have failed to act upon this as per the agreement. Is my take. He thinks the process is ongoing.

    some hope of averting strike due to start on Monday

    The USS trustee has now confirmed that UCU's pension proposals are viable.

    Now up to Universities to come back to table.
