It’s over three months since the Bath Remuneration Committee met to fix the VC’s pay rise for this year. We still don’t know what it is. But if past form is anything to go by it will be more than the 1% we are being offered.   For a graphic illustration of how the value of our pay has been eroded by below inflation pay awards check this beauty from UCL UCU.

We do not get many chances to act together, but the strike ballot is just such a chance. If you have not yet returned your ballot you have until next Tuesday to vote YES and YES and pop it in the post. Easy ! Then treat yourself to a sideways look at the current pay dispute and if you really want to be cheered up have a look at this piece from  Oxford SU and if that’s not enough see what the Chron is saying
