A percentage offer which means the increase for SMT grades is three times higher than the lowest paid staff is an insult.

An ‘improved’ offer which adds less than £3 per week on top of the one initially tabled to the salaries of our lowest paid members when we’re experiencing an ongoing #CostOfLivingCrisis is out of touch.

Our members deserve more respect.

#UniteTheUnion #UCU

After their revised offer of an additional 0.6% was rejected, UCU SMT have agreed to return with a better proposal than the 4.6% pay increase they tabled today.

This offer was nowhere near “amongst the best on offer in any major union” as staff were promised.

Unite UCU members voted for a flat rate pay claim in order to prioritise the lowest paid. This is something UCU SMT has thus far refused to explore.

@donkey I would love to see a media breakdown of the extraordinary profits made by major NZ business’ over the last 12 months. It seems record profits have come at the expense of people struggling to stay afloat. This isn’t so much a #CostOfLivingCrisis as a #CrisisOfGreed #TaxTheRich #NZPol

We intend to maintain a strong & democratic branch where members organise to support each other & prioritise those hit hardest by the #CostOfLivingCrisis. Members are concerned to organise around a number of urgent campaigns. That's our priority.

Poaching is not the type of example to set to the trade union movement & it weakens collective bargaining. We hope that these activites & the attacks on our branch will now stop.

#TheWholeMovementIsWatching
#PracticeWhatYouPreach
#WorkersOrganise

Our branch is disappointed at actions taken by non-Unite members of #UCU's SMT & management who have attempted to poach members from Unite.

Recently a small number of #UCU SMT & management resigned from our branch & joined a rival union. They are reportedly unhappy with our democratic decision to press for a pay deal weighted towards helping those at the bottom of the pay scale during the #CostOfLivingCrisis.

Raising interest rates

👎does not stop profit-driven inflation

👎puts people who are already struggling under even more pressure.

It is the 7th time that @ecb hits the wrong target.
