Support staff keep Universities running; it is time we are fairly paid!
Following national negotiations, UCEA made a final 2% pay offer for 2026/27.
UNISON’s Higher Education Service Group Executive strongly recommended rejecting the offer, which falls far short of what members need during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
UNISON, EIS (Scotland) and Unite have now formally rejected the pay element.
UNISON will continue to fight for its Members!
