Strikes paused after breakthroughs in pay and pensions disputes

5% simply isn't good enough. I'd feel very let down by UCU if they accept this offer.

Also why should the low skilled in a university get double digit payrises while the high skilled professors get a mere 5%? THe professos spend close to a decade in education on zero pay to get the skills and deserve to be paid more and get the same proportional payrise as low skilled professional service staff and cleaners etc. It simply is wrong to try to use deserved payrises to close the gap between the income of the highly skilled and the lowly skilled. The latter also get tax breaks.
