AUT vote for pay deal
With a turnout of 64.9%, members of the Association of University Teachers voted with an overwhelming 92.3% majority to accept their latest pay offer and end all industrial action. 99.2% of the union also voted to set up a new pay review body. These results, announced on Wednesday, mean that pay will be increased by 2.9% backdated to last April and remain at that level in the next financial year. Technical, manual and ancillary staff will also receive a rise of 2.8%.
Acording to Chris Moss, AUT representative at IC, the increase showed that they had been particularly hard done by during the whole process.
