union rejected that deal. well, we can now to glasgow university to talk mary senior, the scotland official at the university and collegeunion. mary, thank you so for making the time for us this morning. why is 8% too low a pay rise? seems like quite a generous offer ? good morning. well, offer? good morning. well, i think the first thing i would say is that staff in that lecturers, student support workers, librarians, it staff, they've seen their pay dropped by over 25% since 2009. and we've got inflation in double digit figures. so you know, staff want an inflationary pay uplift. and i think the second thing i would say that for the pay thing i would say that for the pay round in which we are in dispute about which is the 223 pay dispute about which is the 223 pay round, the employee is imposed 3% on all on our on our members a 3% uplift. as i say, when inflation is over 10. now, you write to say that the employers did come forward with a new offer last week and for vast majority of workers in the sector, that was a 5% offer. but that 5% isn't going to be paid until august 20, 23. there'd be some amount . i think 2% o

would you say that's a political wing that's a political left wing union? college of union? college of nurses, you don't cherry pick. i was commenting on the broad picture activity , picture of union activity, including the kind of rhetoric that michelle rightly points to from some of its most prominent leaders, saying doesn't even leaders, saying it doesn't even matter in. we're matter what job you're in. we're all in effort, all united in this effort, basically the basically against the government, it. government, and that's it. i think is political. but given that you ask question about that you ask a question about the nursing union, i wonder about they about the extent to which they genuinely the best genuinely represent the best interests nurses when interests of their nurses when they and their members they start and their members when they start an argument saying 19% pay saying they wanted 19% pay rises, 19 and then saying, well, don't worry, we're willing to negotiate and compromise. well, of course you are, because if you start at 19% in a single financial year, e

belarus is moving towards technological independence, including within the framework of the union state the college of mechanical engineering technologies spoke about the important political processes of the situation at external borders and the economic course of the state; such meetings not only broaden the horizons of young people, but also provide an opportunity to receive reliable first-hand information from those who are constantly aware of the events of education, which is exactly what we see , a certain interest of young people, uh, and we see a desire to exchange opinions, first of all, because for me, as a person who is engaged in the political branch of political science, it is interesting to learn from the first in ordinary students, what they see is by no means a monologue, not the imposition of some position, then. i think it will. uh, mutual understanding will be the channel of communication that is so necessary for our society. now we are talking a lot about the change of generations, it would be foolish not to ask their opinion, not to find out what specifically worries them, becau

london, and an ex—president of the nurses union, the royal collegewhy does the uk have fewer doctors, fewer nurses than other european countries? what's the reason behind it? well, it certainly is something that is long—standing, it's not something that has just occurred overnight. we have not been investing enough in doctors and nurses over the last at least 20 years. we did research in the early to thousands, which did direct comparisons to 12 european countries, and from that we demonstrated we were bumping along the bottom quartile, notjust in terms of overall numbers, but in terms of the quality of skills and impact on the nurses's psychological welfare, so burn—out rates as well as intention to leave. so these problems have been inferring for a long time. so i think for the public watching, it can be very confusing because you have these two separate arguments. you have the government saying that we are recruiting more, there's another 36,000 nurses, another 5000 doctors. at the same time, we have these huge vacancy rates, we just can't fill th
