College management must urgently respond. Staff cannot be expected to tolerate governance failures and falling pay. Imperial must act now — table a fair offer and return to negotiations — to avert further industrial action next week. ✊

This raises serious questions about governance and integrity at Imperial. The JTU has now formally requested: 1️⃣ An independent external investigation 2️⃣ An immediate return to pay negotiations with an improved offer

These recommendations would have ensured pay kept pace with comparable institutions. Instead, College adopted weaker principles that lower pay benchmarks and reduce salaries in real terms — without transparency or staff consent.

🚨 Fresh and alarming development in the Imperial pay dispute. The Joint Trade Unions have uncovered that key 2018 pay benchmarking recommendations—based on extensive staff consultation—were quietly set aside by College management. See here: https://t.co/O25FszP1bb

Staff across departments have had enough. We want the College to return to negotiations with the Joint Trade Unions (UCU, Unite, UNISON) and make an offer that restores confidence and fairness in how pay is set.

@ImperialCollege management insist their pay policy is “fair”. But independent benchmarking errors, lower comparators, and below-inflation offers show otherwise. Real pay is down year after year — even as the College spends ~£200 million a year on capital projects.
