00:00A major pension dispute continues at Northumbria University, where striking lecturers staged
00:05a rally through Newcastle City Centre on Day 13 of Industrial Action.
00:10Around 200 staff marched from the Civic Centre to Grey's Monument, protesting plans to switch
00:17employees from the Teachers' Pension Scheme to the University's Superannuation Scheme.
00:23The University and College Union say some staff could lose money, while the University
00:28says switching schemes could save £11 million a year and support student facilities.
00:35Union leaders accuse management of blackmail and strikes are planned for the rest of this
00:41week and additional days in April as negotiations continue.
