UNISON in Higher Education
@UNISONinHE
UNISON is the largest UK trade union for support staff in higher education. We work to improve pay, terms, and conditions for our members. #FundOurFuture
UNISON in HE is now also on Bluesky, follow us: bsky.app/profile/unison… #FundOurFuture #StandTogether #HigherEducatoin
Support/professional service staff in universities have seen their real pay consistently cut-this year's national pay offer of only 1.4% is an example. When the national pay spine does not offer a real living wage, 13% for some of the highest paid is unjustifiable. #FundOurFuture
“A kick in the teeth” - 13% pay rise for the VC while jobs are on the line is inexcusable. Thank you to every student, staff member, and community ally who stood in solidarity with @BangorUcu yesterday We will keep fighting. ✊ Coverage via @ITVWales
Our Branch Secretary met with Salford MP and MMU alum @RLong_Bailey at the @UNISONinHE parliamentary lobby yesterday to talk about the crisis enveloping our universities.
Sweeping changes to how PIPs are paid have been announced, and many disabled workers could lose the financial support. Complete UNISON's survey today on how these changes will impact you, and help us show the govt. why these changes are so detrimental. unison.org.uk/news/article/2…

Remember to vote REJECT in the HE consultation on the 2025/26 pay offer. A real-terms pay cut does not reflect the essential role played by support staff in higher education, and they deserve better. #fundourfuture #fundourpay #saveuniversities bsky.app/profile/unison…
