What did you think of the latest higher education pay offer for 2021/2?
Not good enough. That’s what we think. A measly 1.5% pay rise – for the majority of staff – is all they think you’re worth. With inflation running at over 3%, this is a real terms pay cut. Plus the value of HE pay has fallen by over 17% in the last 12 years.
To add insult to injury, hard-working university staff are now facing a massive increase in living costs as they face a double whammy of rocketing gas and electricity prices as well as increasing national insurance payments of 1.25% from April 2022.
We can’t wait any longer, 1.5% isn’t going to cut it and we need to let them know now by standing together.
Vote YES to strike for the pay you deserve.
