Noisy, colourful and good-humoured pickets marked the second round of industrial action as UNISON members at Birmingham University continued their pay dispute this week.
The university is one of a handful who are not part of national bargaining for support staff.
The UNISON members are demanding improved pay after management imposed it’s 2018-19 pay offer.
“We already know that members have turned to food banks to feed their families,” says the Birmingham University UNISON branch. “Many low-paid staff only work 15 hours per week and often hold several jobs to make ends meet.”
National pay talks update
In national negotiations, UNISON and other unions have rejected a final pay offer for 2019-20 and will be balloting members at universities involved for industrial action. The ballot will start in September. Meanwhile, talks are taking place.
The article Birmingham university members strike first appeared on the UNISON National site.
