Universities would not function without support staff. A 1.4% pay offer is an insult to their hard work and dedication. All staff deserve better than a real-terms pay cut.

People doing the same job or work of equal value should get the same or equal pay. But in many cases, they don’t, even though the law says they should.

Studies show unionised workplaces tend to have higher wages and more benefits, including things like more paid holiday and a better pension.

Staff in FE are badly paid, with pay having fallen by 40%+ in real terms since 2010. In England, staff in FE colleges lack the advantages of national bargaining: a disparity between schools and colleges on pay negotiations. UNISON is calling on members to join the campaign & sign the pledge.
