剑桥大学的员工将因薪资和生活成本问题而罢工. Cambridge staff to strike over pay and cost of living concerns.

超过500名剑桥大学的员工将于4月30日和5月1日罢工, 因为担心薪酬和生活成本问题, 要求当地补充工资类似牛津1730英年增. Over 500 Cambridge University staff are set to strike on April 30 and May 1 over pay and cost of living concerns, demanding a local pay supplement similar to Oxford’s £1,730 annual increase. 工会领导的图书馆和IT工作人员在内的员工认为, 大学提出1.4%的加薪是实际削减, 目前暂时支付不足. Led by the Unite union, workers including staff from libraries and IT argue the university’s proposed 1.4% pay rise is a real-terms cut and that its current temporary payment is insufficient. 工会领导人引用大学可观的82.6亿英镑净资产和45亿英镑的捐赠基金，作为其有能力支付更公平工资的证据。 Union leaders cite the university’s significant £8.26 billion net assets and £4.5 billion endowment as evidence it can afford to pay fairer wages.
