Union politics impaired pay battle, paper says.

The article reports on the failure of academic unions to win in pay disputes in Great Britain based on a report by Bob Carter of Leicester University in England. Union officials are focused on achieving power after the merger of the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (Natfhe) and the Association of University Teachers (AUT). AUT officials exclude Natfhe officials from union tactic discussions. It also supports professor Roger Kline's campaign to lead the University and College Union (UCU).
