Marking boycott cancelled with 84% pay ballot vote

83.7% of UCU members voted to accept the 2% pay offer put forward for 2014/15 and to therefore call off the marking boycott. 16.3% voted to reject the offer and commence the boycott. The turnout was 53%.

The acceptance of the pay offer brings to an end this industrial dispute. UCU St Andrews is very grateful to all colleagues and students, whether members or not, who have offered their support during the dispute. It is highly unlikely that without taking this action the offer of a 2% pay increase for next year, and additional commitments to work on low pay and equalities issues in the sector, would have been made.
