Christmas has not come
early for workers in higher education
25 November 2009
Unite the Union has branded University Vice Chancellors as
Scrooges as low paid workers in higher education are offered almost
no pay increase for this year.
Mike Robinson, national officer for Unite's education sector said:
"The final offer of 0.5% from the UCEA (Universities and
Colleges Employers Association) on pay will be a bitter
disappointment to many low paid workers in Higher Education. Higher
education institutions are failing to protect lower paid staff in
this recession. Both on pay and job security, poorer families
will suffer. Christmas has not come early and Scrooge is
a University Vice Chancellor. Unite will begin to ramp up the
case for the low paid staff in higher education in
2010".
