A call for a pay rise for lecturers that matches inflation.
Since August 2009 the pay rise offered to Lectures at the University of Greenwich and many other Universities has failed to meet inflation and the cost of living.
This is combined with higher payments to pension funds in addition to the fact that many lecturers are still repaying their own student loan. We need to support those who teach us. You may be aware that Lecturers have been striking frequently as their calls for a pay rise have not been met, this is due to continue and if you want to help stop striking and support those who work hard and deserve a pay rise, that simply matches the cost of living then please sign the petition to show your support.
The UCU estimates that although generally lecturers are contracted 36 hours a week these members of staff often work an additional 10 hours of unpaid labour on top of this. Our staff are an asset and deserve to be respected. They are not striking to cancel lecture but simply because they have no other options.

I'm strongly against the pay cuts and hope that the wages of our tutors is paid fairly so strikes can be avoided which disrupt my learning as well as waste valuable time. It is most certainly unfair when it mostly affects the lecturers.
As a student who receives fantastic teaching and endless support from my lecturers, I am very disappointed that they are not being awarded with fair pay for their efforts. We as students pay a large sum to attend University and because our teachers, quite rightfully, have been given no choice but to stand up for themselves, our money and time are being wasted. Our teachers do an amazing job, their salaries should reflect this.
it’s shocking how much we pay in tuition yet the staff see none of it. pay our lecturers what they are worth!
1 day online and we have 50 signatures, it shows that we really care, lets keep getting those signatures!
I feel this is unfair. The price of higher education is quite costly and there are many movies (even big ones like Thor2) being shot around the university all year long... come on.
They deserve what they asking for
Guys please share this to spread the word!!

I feel that it is unfair that we, as students, pay so much for education that the teacher/lecturers are not getting the right pay because we have recieved wonderful, excellent teaching and they shouldnt have to suffer when they are doing a amazing job
