Go-ahead for a jobs revolution

Article Abstract:

Plans for the biggest shake-up of careers in the academic sector for 40 years have moved closer with the decision by members of lecturers' union Natfhe to accept the plans contained within the Framework Agreement for the Modernisation of Pay Structures, and the decision by the Association of University Teachers to call off industrial action and ballot members with a recommendation that they accept the proposals. The reforms will clear the path for a single new pay spine before 2006 that will encompass all university staff, from professors to porters, in new and old universities.
