International Women’s Day

Dear All 

Following on from International Women’s Day, UCU have launched a tool to allow us all to see where our pay sits relative to the sector, and for our gender.

Try the ‘rate for your job’ tool https://www.ucu.org.uk/rateforthejob

And look to see which institutions have the biggest gender pay gaps! This is important for short and long term financial well-being for women, especially considering pension changes:
