Our incoming Exeter UCU treasurer, Matt West @westbynoreaster, has studied our local/national finances. The reality is that academics in pre-92s are on a different planet to post-92s, on the whole, and the difference between their income/career prospects and professional services staff is egregious. The sector is massively unequal in terms of pay, and national pay bargaining can’t address that - or at least no one’s proposing to address, let alone fix that hierarchy.
