Staff at Hopwood Hall College have secured another significant pay rise – this time of 9.2 per cent for most lecturers.
The award for 2022/23, announced today by the University and College Union, comes just months after staff at the college in Rochdale secured an increase of up to 7.5 per cent for the 2021/22 academic year.
Staff at Hopwood Hall called off strike action earlier this year due to “meaningful” pay negotiations taking place, the UCU said.
This year’s deal will be back dated to August. It is worth 9.2 per cent for most lecturers. For new lecturers who are at the “bottom of the spine and for skills development coaches” the deal is worth 20.25 per cent, over £5,000, according to the union.
