Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:40 pm on 27 February 2018.
Further to the comments made previously about the industrial action by the University and College Union regarding the universities' superannuation scheme, which, as we've heard, will leave lecturers' pensions to the whims of the stock market, but according to First Actuarial as well will leave the average lecturer with £200,000 less in pension income, can I say that Plaid Cymru supports the UCU strikes and we certainly support their calls on Universities UK to come up with a better offer? I'm not content with just asking the Government to make a statement. Can I ask: will this Welsh Labour-led Government unequivocally support the UCU strike so that we can all pull together in putting pressure on Universities UK to come up with a better and a fairer deal on their pensions?
