Higher education unions met university employers today for the start of the 2019-20 pay negotiations.
The unions – UNISON, UCU, Unite, GMB and EIS – represent workers across the higher education sector and throughout the UK.
They presented a joint pay claim to employers at today’s meeting. Its highlights include
- a minimum pay rise of RPI inflation plus 3%, or £3,349 a year, whichever is greater;
- a minimum pay rate for directly employed staff across the sector of £10 an hour, and the living wage, as set by the Living Wage Foundation, for other staff on campus – ie, contracted out staff;
- restoration of a 3% differential between different points in the sector’s national pay spine;
- a 35-hour working week for all staff.
