UNITE at Cambridge: advocating for better pay and working conditions.
Save The Vet School
UNITE at Cambridge University stands in solidarity with the Vet School!
WE SAY…
“Cambridge University is one of the richest education institutions in the UK and has billions of pounds at its disposal. Yet rather than help its lowest paid workers with the cost of living in one of the most expensive cities in the UK it is fiddling while Rome burns. It pleas of poverty have been exposed as being entirely hollow.“
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham
THEY SAY…
“The University has strengthened the Professorial Pay Review scheme to help senior academics move more easily through the top pay bands.”

Not very exciting as Universities love a good review, even more than they love a committee. However unlike the ever parsimonious Cambridge, an institution that would claim it was “a bit broke this month” when everyone was putting into the whip round for a departing colleague, Oxford actually wants to stand its round! https://hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/pay-and-conditions#collapse4849576 Oxford says The findings of this review… Read more: News From Oxford ,(Never Mind The Boat Race….Where’s our Money?)
