London Weighting is the element in staff pay that is meant to compensate us for the high cost of living in London. UCL is the only one of London’s universities that has refused to negotiate with the unions over this – and it pays less than any of the others.
All of us who have been working at the Institute of Education since before the merger with UCL, over two years ago, are paid even less – over £600 less each year than our colleagues in the rest of UCL.
This is manifestly unfair. It leads to demoralisation – which is bad for staff and bad for students.
We demand that UCL starts to address this double injustice by giving all its staff the same London Weighting.

Living in London is expensive enough without the uni paying us less than everyone else. Sort it out.
Pay us what we are worth. Simple as.
About time this was addressed. The IOE merger was years ago and we are still being treated like second class staff.
UNFAIR. Do the right thing UCL.
it makes no sense to have different pay scales for doing the same job. really demoralising for us IOE lot.

Rent prices in this city are insane and we should all be getting the same weighting regardless of which building we work in.
