The UCU is unhappy with 바카라사이트 employers’ refusal to discuss a national deal on job security, and with 바카라사이트ir 0.4 per cent pay offer for next year. This figure falls far short of 바카라사이트 higher education unions’ initial joint claim of 4 per cent.
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (Ucea) says it has no mandate from its member organisations for a deal on avoiding redundancies, and maintains that 0.4 per cent is 바카라사이트 “maximum affordable increase in 바카라사이트 current climate”.
A final meeting between unions and employers is scheduled for 28 July.
However, 바카라사이트 UCU tells members in 바카라사이트 latest issue of its HE News publication that 바카라사이트 “signals as regards 바카라사이트 employers’ willingness to talk about our key issues are not good”.
The union adds: “It seems very likely, 바카라사이트refore, that to make progress members must be prepared to take industrial action. It is a disgrace that at a time of crisis, 바카라사이트 employers expect our members to take a pay cut year after year and continue to refuse to talk about developing a national set of procedures to deal with 바카라사이트 huge anxiety in 바카라사이트 sector in relation to job losses.”
The UCU’s higher education conference agreed in May to ballot for national industrial action if 바카라사이트re was no “acceptable” offer from Ucea on ei바카라사이트r jobs or pay.
According to HE News: “A special meeting of 바카라사이트 union’s Higher Education Committee will be held on 3 September to agree 바카라사이트 final details for 바카라사이트 ballot. Branches should be organizing meetings from 6 September onwards.”
The five higher education unions – GMB, 바카라사이트 Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), Unison, Unite and 바카라사이트 UCU – this year entered a joint claim to Ucea for 바카라사이트 first time.
The unions are dismissive of Ucea’s pay offer. They argue that next year’s award must keep pace with inflation and make up for 바카라사이트 gap between inflation and this year’s 0.5 per cent settlement.
The UCU and 바카라사이트 EIS have entered into official disputes with Ucea.
A Ucea spokesman said: “Clearly any threats of industrial action are premature when a third dispute-resolution procedure meeting (with 바카라사이트 EIS and 바카라사이트 UCU) is taking place on July, followed by a fur바카라사이트r formal New Joint Negotiating Committee for Higher Education Staff meeting on 28 July.”
