Blue Peter to improve nutrition in schools
Published: 18 June, 2009
The higher education unions - the University and College Union (UCU), EIS, GMB, UNISON and Unite - have rejected a ‘derisory' pay offer from the national employers of just 0.3%. Following an earlier employers' ultimatum of ‘jobs or a pay increase', the unions pushed for a national agreement on job security. The national negotiating meeting saw constructive dialogue on possible joint work on issues such as the gender pay gap, work life balance and improvements in missing pay and workforce data. UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: "Industrial action is always a last resort, but with thousands of jobs on the line this is not the time to be patient. We need action now to prevent unnecessary job losses and are stunned at the employers' behaviour." Related articles:
