The University and College Union is seeking an above-inflation pay rise for its members, saying that pay has fallen by a quarter in real terms since 2009
“Universities are richer than ever, generating tens of billions of pounds in income and hoarding billions more in cash deposits, but they won’t give staff their fair share.
“We have sought to settle this dispute at every opportunity, including agreeing to a joint review of sector finances, but we are faced with employers that want to see staff and students suffer. Raj Jethwa, chief executive of the Universities and Colleges Employers Association , said: “UCEA welcomes the vote by UCU members to end the marking and assessment boycott.
“It is, therefore, disappointing that, at the same time as ending the boycott, UCU is attempting to inflict maximum damage before its mandate expires, by calling strike action for late September.
