Workers in higher education have had a pay freeze for 5 years now, which amounts to a 13% pay cut in real terms. In the same period, university vice-chancellors' pay has gone up by an average of £83,000. This year the offer is 1%, well below the cost of living again. 4,000 HE workers don't even earn the living wage. Enough is enough. Vote yes to strike action and smash the public sector pay freeze.
