The motion
That this House expresses its deep concern regarding the ongoing strike action by academic staff at Edinburgh Napier University, represented by the Educational Institute of Scotland, in opposition to compulsory redundancies; notes the significant impact that the loss of experienced academic staff would have on the student experience and the university's research standing; and calls on the Scottish Government to urgently intervene and work with the senior management of Edinburgh Napier University to facilitate a meaningful dialogue, protect the livelihoods of staff, and bring a swift end to the strike action through a fair and sustainable agreement.
