I am on strike today from my job at the University of Nottingham. Real-terms pay for staff has decreased by 25% since 2009, meaning we were working one day free per week - before inflation kicked in! Pensions slashed by 35%. Pay cuts disproportionately affect ECRs and EDI in the workplace. Is it too much to expect universities to support their staff in these ideals? We already had below inflation pay rises for the last decade ... #EDI #ECRs #UCUrising #UoN #WeAreUoN #UoNUCU #ucustrike
