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

Agree 100% with this response to the Russell Group 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 UCU Postgrads
