EIS- University Lecturers' Association

The HE unions EIS, GMB, UCU UNISON and Unite today unanimously rejected a derisory pay offer from the national HE employers of 0.3%. Following the employers' earlier ultimatum of 'jobs or a pay increase' the unions pushed for a national agreement on job security and redundancy avoidance. The national negotiating meeting saw some 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.
