University lecturers threaten strike over changes to their pension scheme
Academics at 67 universities including Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College London say they'll stop marking students' work
They have threatened to carry out rolling strikes and boycott the marking of students' work. More than a million students would be affected.
Employers want to change the lecturers' pension scheme – the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) – to put new members on career-average, rather than final salary, pensions.
The lecturers' trade union, the University and College Union (UCU), said that, in two referendums, 90% of those who belonged to the scheme voted against the changes to their pensions.
