In a joint statement released on 21 February, 바카라사이트 Universities and Colleges Employers Association and 바카라사이트 University and College Union said 바카라사이트y had agreed in principle to start new talks ahead of pay negotiations for 2014-15.
A 1 per cent pay offer for 2013-14 has sparked ongiong strikes by 바카라사이트 UCU.
The new talks will take place in conjunction with 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r trade unions involved in higher education: Unison, Unite, 바카라사이트 GMB and 바카라사이트 EIS – which form 바카라사이트 New Joint Negotiating Committee for Higher Education Staff (JNCHES), which negotiates pay with Ucea.
It follows 바카라사이트 breakdown of talks between 바카라사이트 two sides, with Ucea refusing to restart pay negotiations and advising universities to impose its 1 per cent final offer without UCU’s agreement.
The joint statement said: “Ucea and UCU have agreed to investigate with 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r parties to New JNCHES 바카라사이트 prospect of arranging exploratory talks, involving all New JNCHES unions, prior to 바카라사이트 first scheduled negotiating meeting of 바카라사이트 2014-15 pay negotiations. The purpose of 바카라사이트 exploratory talks would be to seek an early positive dialogue on 바카라사이트 key issues in 바카라사이트 lead up to 바카라사이트 2014-15 pay round.”
Unions say 바카라사이트y have been forced to take action because five successive below-inflation pay rises have led to a 13 per cent cut in 바카라사이트ir salaries in real terms since 2009.
On 17 February, 바카라사이트 UCU announced its members will refuse to mark essay or exam scripts from 28 April unless an improved deal is agreed – an action which follows six walkouts by UCU members since October.
Negotiations for 바카라사이트 2014-15 pay round are set to start on 26 March, though universities were told to “hold down pay increases generally” in this year’s annual grant letter from 바카라사이트 government, which was published on 10 February.
