Union to fight pay 'betrayal'

Article Abstract:

University vice-chancellors are already starting to ignore this year's staff pay deal, just months after signing up to the largest restructuring of academic careers for 40 years, according to delegates at the annual conference of Natfhe, the largest lecturers' union, in Blackpool, UK. The union has raised the threat of strike action after claiming that only 25% of vice-chancellors have stated that they plan to meet the national pay rates that were set out in the deal, while other vice-chancellors appear to be trying to set their own local pay levels.

TUC polices pay scrum

Article Abstract:

The Trades Union Congress is to step in and attempt to calm hostilities between the seven university trade unions following the outbreak of conflict over the issue of pay. The unions are split over the issue of the current two-year 6.44% offer, with the non-academic unions having already accepted it and lecturers' union Natfhe hopeful that it will be able to recommend the deal to its members, while the Association of University Teachers has already rejected the deal and is looking for a mandate for strike action in a ballot of its members.
