42% of UCD Research Staff have not received a salary raise after a year or more at UCD — despite being on a payscale. Research staff keep universities running. It's time their pay reflected that. #RSA #SIPTU #ResearchStaff #UCD #FairPay #HigherEducation #mayday

Our latest survey reveals key issues that UCD Research Staff - including postdocs - are facing. 🫵We want to take these issues further and raise them to #UCD management with the support of SIPTU reps, but we can’t do it alone – join #RSA-#SIPTU to make our voices heard. #postdoc
