ALT “I feel there has been a growing disregard for the proper processes at this institution. This creates friction and additional work for colleagues in PS, which makes me feel like our work is not adequately valued.”

ALT “There have been a few restructures happening in the last few years and there has been an abundance of temporary contracts, which leave employees very vulnerable. We demand that QMUL eliminates these precarious practices and offer fair working conditions and contracts to everyone.”

ALT "I feel directly impacted by this dispute, especially with regards to pay. Inflation costs are skyrocketing but our salaries are just not keeping up - and it’s a struggle. Staff have been considerably underpaid for years and QMUL, together with the other employers in the sector, is consistently failing to make acceptable adjustments.”

ALT “Staff in non-academic roles are heavily impacted by the issues raised in this dispute. Compounded during the pandemic, workload has reached unmanageable levels, which is contributing not only to poor staff wellbeing, but also has a negative impact on our students who are trying to access services that are at breaking point.”
