Is the University of Hertfordshire a fair employer?  The University’s senior managers spent almost £14,000 on attending just one awards dinner last November while low-paid staff are resorting to food banks  The University Executive Team’s members earn £163,000 on average but its lowest-paid staff earn just £24,685  The University approved a 42% increase in the number of senior managers earning £100,000+ last year while staff received a 1.4% below-inflation pay rise (further contributing to a catastrophic 20-30% real-terms pay cut since 2009)  The University holds £104.5 million in cash and short-term deposits but refuses to pay a one-off hardship payment for 2,255 lower-paid staff costing £721,800  To add to the misery, the University refuses to reverse last August’s ‘monstrous’ 50% campus parking charge hike despite our petition gaining almost 1100 signatures  And then cuts our staff bonus by 72% from £350 to £100 Is any of this fair? UCU Herts is a trade union representing lecturers and researchers at the University of Hertfordshire. We’re campaigning to make it a fair employer.
