From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The 2013 UK higher education strike was industrial action which took place on 31 October 2013. It was jointly co-ordinated by the UCU, Unite, and UNISON trade unions across the United Kingdom.[1] University staff went on strike in response to a real-terms pay cut of 13% since 2008,[2] starting at midnight with the mass walk-out of security guards from Glasgow Caledonian University.[3] Classes were cancelled at every Scottish university except the University of the Highlands and Islands.[2]
