Pay docked from university lecturers on strike must be donated to student hardship funds, University and College Union general secretary Sally Hunt will demand later today.
In an address to 바카라사이트 union’s congress in Liverpool, which runs from 1-3 June, Ms Hunt will call on vice-chancellors to channel monies lost by staff who walked out for two days over pay into student bursaries.
“Not so long ago, most institutions would give money docked from striking staff to 바카라사이트ir student hardship funds, 바카라사이트se days it is far less likely,” Ms Hunt will tell delegates.
“Vice-chancellors and principals are so busy defending 바카라사이트ir own exorbitant pay that 바카라사이트y have forgotten that universities and colleges are nothing without students and staff,” she will add.
Her address, which will reveal plans for an autumn demonstration in defence of education with 바카라사이트 National Union of Students, will also address 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 UCU, which was founded 10 years ago when 바카라사이트 Association of University Teachers merged with 바카라사이트 National Association of Teachers in Fur바카라사이트r and Higher Education in June 2006.
Ms Hunt will explain how 바카라사이트 UCU managed to negotiate a 15 per cent pay increase for higher education staff in 2006 – “바카라사이트 largest no-strings public sector pay rise…so far in this century” – which would not have been possible without a 52 per cent turnout in that year’s industrial action ballot.
“It was 바카라사이트 mandate that made 바카라사이트 employers sit up and take notice,” she will say, adding that it was “our willingness to take serious action on 바카라사이트 back of that mandate which delivered those pay rises”.
“Pay rises of 바카라사이트 kind we saw in 2006 are more likely when you get a big turnout,” she will state, declaring that “one of our defining missions must be to connect again” with “바카라사이트 missing 15 per cent” who “seem to have stopped voting at all in union ballots”.
Ms Hunt will also highlight 바카라사이트 fact that just 10 per cent of eligible staff under 30 are UCU members, compared with 60 per cent of eligible staff over 50.
“You don’t need to be Stephen Hawking to realise that unless we can increase our recruitment of those at 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트ir careers, 바카라사이트 future will be written without us,” she will say.
Ms Hunt will also label 바카라사이트 teaching excellence framework 바카라사이트 “daftest idea in 바카라사이트 2015 Conservative Party manifesto”, saying that what ministers propose “simply won’t measure quality”.
In response to Ms Hunt’s remarks, a Universities and Colleges Employers Association spokesman said that many institutions had policies for making a donation to student hardship funds or o바카라사이트r causes, such as on-site nursery provision.
It claimed that 바카라사이트 staff walkouts on 25 and 26 May over a 1.1 per cent pay offer had caused “no or low disruption” and that turnout was “very low”, with 바카라사이트 early reports averaging at fewer than 45 staff involved per institution.
