Low-paid education staff lose out

U.K.

The UNISON public services union has revealed that thousands of non-teaching staff in colleges of further education have missed out on higher pay increases as local colleges have failed to implement a minimum £500-a-year (€630) increase recommended last year by the national college employers' association. The employers said that all workers earning less than £16,791 (€21,200) should be entitled to the increase but according to UNISON 64% of colleges have failed to implement the increase. This leaves many college library and laboratory assistants, catering workers and cleaners on a minimum annual salary of £12,738 (€16,100). In this year's negotiations the joint unions have just rejected a pay offer of 2.5%.
