Higher Education negotiators from UCU,
@unitetheunion, and @unisontheunion met @UCEA1 in the first of two dispute resolution meetings over the current pay bargaining round.
1/
We were disappointed that @UCEA1 did not bring an improved offer, despite our consistent communications on areas which are lacking.
2/
2/
.@UCEA1 did not demonstrate willingness to improve their previous pay offer, despite the rise in inflation that means 1.5% would now constitute a real terms pay cut, under both RPI and CPIH.

.@UCEA1 was also unwilling to engage with the pay-related elements of our claim, including workload, job security, and pay equality. These conditions directly impact rate of pay and working conditions, and should form a crucial part of the yearly bargaining round.
4/
4/
We have the expectation that employers will show respect for the contributions made by staff by offering rates of pay which are competitive internationally, rather than deprioritising staff in favour of other types of expenditure.
5/
5/
The next dispute resolution meeting is on Friday 23 July. We expect @UCEA1, as a representative of employers, to demonstrate a commitment to staff in Higher Education by improving their offer.
