Letter to UCEA

Ms Jocelyn Prudence Chief Executive UCEA 3rd Floor Woburn House 20 Tavistock Square London WC1H 9HU

Dear Jocelyn

2011 Pay and related matters

This letter is to advise you that last week the Unite national education industry committee again considered the final offer on pay made by UCEA in July 2011 and contained in your email to trade union colleagues on the 5^th January 2012.

As you will know there was an attempt made using ACAS at a meeting on the 15^th December to resolve the dispute on pay and related matters that exists between us.

The ACAS brokered meeting did not resolve the dispute.

The outcome of that meeting and our exchange of correspondence were also considered by the Unite national education industry committee.

This letter is to advise you the Unite national education industry committee voted to continue the dispute and to consider any other appropriate action that Unite members can take to continue to press that the offer of £150 on to salary scales is inadequate when set against the 2011 RPI and other below inflation settlements made over the last 3 years.

I will be in discussions with the Unite national education industry committee on other appropriate action and may communicate with you in due course.

Yours sincerely

Mike Robinson
