Fair pay 2025/26 Resources

Out of office template

Thank you for your message but I AM ON STRIKE 

The 25/26 1.4% pay increase offer is a real-terms pay cut of 3.2% 

This is the lowest increase in the public sector: 

Armed Forces: 4.5% 

RPI (inflation): 4.3% 

Doctors: 4% 

Teachers: 4% 

Nurses: 3.6% 

Civil Servants: 3.3% 

University Workers: 1.4% 

University workers have not received a pay increase that matches inflation since 2009 

If pay had matched inflation, salaries would currently be around 30% higher 

The university sector needs reform – saving money by cutting staff pay cannot continue forever 

Top 10 UK university and 51st in the world (QS Rankings 2026)  

Top 5 UK university for research (THE analysis of REF 2021)  

Top 5 most targeted university by top UK employers (High Fliers 2024)  

NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUR HARD WORK
