据报道,英国大学和学院联盟(UCU)举行的投票结果显示,英国40所大学的成员投票支持就薪酬和工作条件问题继续采取罢工行动。
大学和学院联盟(UCU)表示,由于新的通胀数据,员工工资自2009年以来实际下降了四分之一以上。英国大学校长收入约为27.8万英镑,几乎是入门级学术或学术相关专业人员的十倍。 英国大学教职工工会还声称,今年4月制定的养老金削减计划,将使普通讲师损失35%的养老金。UCU秘书长乔·格雷迪(Jo Grady)将最近的投票描述为“针对学校对待员工方式的控诉”。 将在4月继续采取罢工行动的学校名单: Birkbeck, University of London Bournemouth University University of Brighton Cardiff University University of Chester Courtauld Institute of Art The University of Dundee Durham University Edinburgh Napier University University of Edinburgh University of Essex University of Exeter University of Glasgow Goldsmiths, University of London University of Greenwich Heriot-Watt University Institute of Development Studies Keele University King’s College London Kingston University The University of Leeds University of Liverpool Loughborough University Newcastle University The University of Northampton The University of Nottingham Queens University Belfast Queen Mary University of London University of Ulster Royal College of Art Royal Northern College of Music Sheffield Hallam University The University of Sheffield SOAS, University of London University of Southampton University of St Andrews University of Sussex UCA – University for the Creative Arts University of the Arts London University of Westminster
