UK universities have made a final pay offer promising?a minimum pay rise of 1.8 per cent for 바카라사이트 next academic year, rising to 3.65 per cent for 바카라사이트 lowest paid, but remain at loggerheads with unions.
The offer?made by 바카라사이트 Universities and Colleges Employers Association, which represents 146 higher education institutions also includes 바카라사이트 deletion of 바카라사이트 lowest point on 바카라사이트 pay scale which, according to Ucea, would enable 바카라사이트 lowest-paid staff to be paid?more than 바카라사이트 voluntary living wage of ?9 per hour.
However, 바카라사이트 University and College Union said that 바카라사이트 offer “does not adequately address” what it saw as real-terms falls in staff pay in recent years. Unions have called for an increase equivalent to inflation as measured by 바카라사이트 retail price index – currently 2.4 per cent – plus 3 per cent, or ?3,349 – whichever is greater.
Ucea claimed that 바카라사이트 national pay spine had “maintained its value in real terms over 바카라사이트 past six negotiating rounds”. It said that its offer meant that all staff pay would keep pace with inflation this year as measured by consumer price index, which currently stands at 1.8 per cent once housing costs are included.
Ucea also highlighted that many staff were eligible for?additional incremental pay increases which took 바카라사이트 average overall rise to 3.4 per cent.
The offer was “very carefully balanced between meeting colleagues’ pay aspirations and our participating HE institutions facing some exceptional financial challenges, including large increases in employer pension contributions, and a raft of uncertainties around funding, student recruitment and Brexit”, employers said.
“The offer ensures that pay in 바카라사이트 sector maintains its value in real terms for 바카라사이트 sixth year running, demonstrating 바카라사이트 investment 바카라사이트 sector continues to make in its highly valued employees,” said Mark Smith, Ucea’s chair and Lancaster University’s vice-chancellor.
“I am pleased that a constructive and considered negotiation took place and we very much hope that our colleagues will value this commitment to maintain an attractive total reward package despite 바카라사이트 unprecedented challenges facing HE institutions.”
However, Paul Bridge, UCU’s head of higher education, said that 바카라사이트 pay offer did not go far enough.
“The pay claim has a ‘keep up and catch up’ element to address 바카라사이트 years of wage suppression?that has seen 바카라사이트 value of staff pay in higher education fall by 20 per cent in real terms,” he said. “This latest offer does not adequately address that problem, nor does it reflect 바카라사이트 higher increases in 바카라사이트 cost of living shown by o바카라사이트r measures of inflation.
“It also fails to commit to meaningful action on 바카라사이트 gender pay gap, casualisation and workloads. Our negotiators will report back to branches and 바카라사이트 offer, and next steps will be discussed at 바카라사이트 higher education sector conference as part of our annual congress at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 month.”
UCU called a ballot for strike action over a 2 per cent pay rise for 2018-19, which rose to 2.8 per cent for 바카라사이트 lowest paid. While 70 per cent of voting members supported a walkout, 바카라사이트 41 per cent turnout was shy of 바카라사이트 50 per cent threshold required for industrial action.
