“Workers are being asked to pay the price while the organisation has significant public funding and substantial reserves.”
By Strike Map
Workers at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) are taking indefinite strike action over real-terms pay cuts of 16% that they have endured over the last decade.
Meanwhile, the ICR’s CEO now receives more than £400,000 a year.
The ICR is also heavily funded by the UK Government, with more than 20% of its revenue coming from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Research England.
And despite these cuts to workers’ pay, the ICR holds £36 million in free reserves.
Workers are being asked to pay the price while the organisation has significant public funding and substantial reserves.
We’re calling on the whole movement to stand with ICR workers and back their fight.
