Public services union UNISON will be working with the National Union of Students to raise the issue of low pay in universities. The organisations will highlight the scale of the gap between the lowest and highest paid and will name those universities that pay their workers, including the employees of private contractors less than the minimum wage. In 2009-10 the top university officials (Vice-Chancellors) were paid £218813 (€262000) on average, compared to the £12334 (€14760) for those on the minimum wage and 40-hour week.
