The Association of University Teachers and Natfhe, the university and college lecturers union, have hit a stumbling block in their talks over single table pay bargaining. Leaders of the two unions have been unable to agree over whether demands for a lecturers pay review body should be included in a joint claim. Natfhe said this week it now looked as though the next pay round would be conducted through parallel bargaining, rather than through a joint negotiating team.
