Get involved: outer-London weighting and reforming EQUATE

Campaigns for 2024: 

Outer-London Weighting

We are negotiating with management about a payment of an outer-London weighting allowance of £3750 per annum to all staff, in order to address the higher cost of living in and around London. The Royal Veterinary College, which has a campus in Hatfield, offers a London weighting to their staff, so we claim the same.

Please send us your testimonies of how the current cost of living crisis is affecting you and how an outer-London weighting would help you.

 

EQUATE process

Members have reported inequalities and major issues with the EQUATE process for promotion. The current process is not fit for purpose, causing huge amounts of work and anxiety for members. In particular, the amount of written evidence and the form of the spreadsheet is discriminatory towards staff with dyslexia, ADHD or who are neurodivergent.

Please send us your experiences of EQUATE. We will be drawing together the main issues and bringing them to the management, asking for major reform in the process.
