3 days to action… Why strike?

Because pay inequality is obscene and not being addressed. The gender pay-gap for academic staff in the UK is a whopping 12.6%, with red-brick universities generally the worst offenders. At Sheffield University, the average female academic earns over £4,500 less than the average male. There is evidence to suggest that widening pay inequality in general, with the highest paid staff stretching away from the rest, feeds this problem. Universities acknowledge there is an issue but are doing little to address it.
