Question Title Staff to work a voluntary week at UCC
Staff at University College Cork have volunteered to work a weeks work with no pay to help the college survive the current economic crisis.

Dr. Michael Murphy, president in UCC, announced the proposal to staff and students last week. He sees it as a prevention of the loss of temporary staff of which UCC has lost 400 of this year. It would amount to pay cut of more than 2pc this year for UCC's 2,800 staff, yielding about €3.3m of €7m that the college has to save between now and September.

However, college staff were not impressed saying it is nothing but an attempt to impose unacceptable conditions on junior and underpaid staff.
