In the past 2 years 1000s of PGRs have demanded greater rights/support and collectively we’ve shown there is power in our actions A ‘new deal’ isn’t going to cut it ❌ We need a better deal ✅ Tell your uni to support you in this consultation 👇👇
Today we have launched a consultation to help shape a New Deal for Postgraduate Research. We welcome responses from anyone interested or involved in postgraduate research training in the UK, irrespective of funding source. Take part here by 17 May: orlo.uk/pQZpk
We've seen that @UKRI_News has published a response to the PGRs Against Low Pay campaign's open letter - now signed by close to 10,000 PGRs, demanding a #PGRPayRise & more. We're hosting a meeting next Wed 27th at 6pm to discuss next steps. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
We have published our response to an open letter from postgraduate research students on inflation and the cost of living. The reply is on our website here: orlo.uk/jX6xJ
Moving PhD students onto staff contracts in the UK will worsen the financial pressures faced by doctoral candidates as they struggle with the cost of living, the Russell Group’s research lead has argued. bit.ly/3OStb51
PGRs at universities across the UK are demanding the support they urgently need. 🔥 An end to low pay 🔥 Stipends that keep up with inflation 🔥 Extra support for those who need it, including self funded, disabled & migrant PGRs Sign the letter NOW 👇✍ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
📢 Campaign launch! 📢 PhD students are already overworked, underpaid & struggling. Now, amidst a cost of living crisis, we face a real terms pay cut of over £1000. Please sign our open letter to UKRI demanding PGRs get the support they deserve 👇 bit.ly/UKRIStipends
@PandemicPGRs do your thing! 👇

PGRs getting organised is my favourite thing in life
📢 PGR emergency mass meeting this Friday 📢 PGRs Against Low Pay It’s no secret. Low pay is the biggest issue facing us today. The cost of living crisis is biting and large numbers of PGRs are saying enough is enough. Sign up 4 Fri@ 1pm 👇 forms.gle/evVJDoeji442jf…
Because I don’t want a real-terms pay cut of £800 on my already low stipend!

Union publishes wish list for ‘new deal’ for postgraduate researchers: PhD campaigners call for better support for marginalised postgraduate researchers in response to consultation. (£) @sophie_inge @UCUPostgrads @ucu @UKRI_News @Akirbyreynolds @elmunro researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-res…
Agree 100% with this response to the @RussellGroup report in response to UKRIs new deal for PGRs as staff. PGRs already carry out many staff duties such as teaching/supervision and equipment maintenance for free or cheap labour @PandemicPGRs @UCUPostgrads
The group representing the UK’s top research universities has argued against treating postgraduate research students as staff, saying it is not in their interests. @RobinBisson @RussellGroup @PandemicPGRs @UCUPostgrads @ucu @nusuk @ProspectUnion researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-uni…
📅 27 MAY, 2 PM: J4CS RALLY 📅 On 27 May, our reps will make the case for a pay rise, paid training and secure contracts before the Senior Tutors Committee at Clare College. We need 200 workers supporting them outside the College. RSVP here: bit.ly/3yrRTUW
Why be public about the elastic splitting? Because I agree with many @PandemicPGRs that it if (be an option) classed as an employee could have safeguarded/equity the pipeline with pay above poverty line, childcare,holidays etc. #grateful supervisors/dept have been supportive
One of our PGR pals has got in touch to ask if we know of any examples where PhD researchers get paid for their time/contributions to university committees, meetings, etc., commensurate with staff. Have you got an example you can share to help them build their case? #PhDChat
