While not formally in dispute, AUT is also campaigning towards the same objectives and a joint day of action is taking place on December 5th.
Full details are at the campaign web page.
Our case has been considerably strenthened by the recent intervention of David Blunkett who has, in effect, told the employers to get back to the negotiating table. 12.30 P.M. Copies of a national petition calling on the heads of institutions to press their representatives to resume immediate negotiations on pay and on the implementation of the Bett recommendations will be available for you to sign. AUT members should support their colleagues in other unions, and should decline to undertake additional work normally done by these colleagues. Any attempt at bullying by managers should be reported immediately to an AUT local officer. AUT has issued a paper analysing the implications for higher education of the recent Comprehensive Spending Review statement.
