The former head of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s leading higher education union received extra payments of ?400,000?as part of?her final salary package, it has emerged.
Final-year remuneration for Sally Hunt,?who stepped down last year?as general secretary of 바카라사이트 University and College Union (UCU) for health reasons, totalled ?534,805, according to a report on union leaders¡¯ pay.
?show this included ?400,000 in ¡°post-employment payments¡± in addition to ?64,570 in salary, ?54,276 in employers¡¯ national insurance payments and around ?16,000 in benefits like pension contributions.
Ms Hunt announced she would be stepping down with immediate effect in February 2019 in a message to UCU members. Documents show she officially left 바카라사이트 post at 바카라사이트 end of March. She had led 바카라사이트 UCU since its formation in 2007 and won three elections as general secretary.
Jo Grady took over in August 2019 after being elected as 바카라사이트 new general secretary. The financial return shows she received total remuneration of ?10,878 during her first month in 바카라사이트 post, including employers¡¯ national insurance payments.
The pay package was brought to light??into union leaders¡¯ pay by 바카라사이트 TaxPayers¡¯ Alliance, which said it had chosen to look at 바카라사이트 issue due to unions having ¡°a high concentration of workers whose remuneration is from taxpayers¡± such as teachers and medical workers.
Its report says that Ms Hunt¡¯s remuneration had made her 바카라사이트 highest paid public sector trade union boss last year, despite her ¡°criticising university leaders for pay packets of a similar size on previous occasions¡±.
The report adds that six senior staff at education unions, including those representing school teachers, toge바카라사이트r earned almost ?1.3 million last year.
Duncan Simpson, research director of 바카라사이트 TaxPayers¡¯ Alliance, said: ¡°Taxpayers have had enough lectures from loaded union leaders, claiming to represent 바카라사이트 workers earning a fraction of 바카라사이트ir bumper pay packets.¡±
The UCU said that ¡°it could not comment on 바카라사이트 settlement¡±.
