Universities have been criticised for “tearing away” wages, pensions and rights from low-paid staff amid a steep increase in the number of outsourced cleaning, security and maintenance staff working on campuses.
Data released by 42 universities in England, Scotland and Wales to the Guardian under freedom of information laws revealed their spending on outsourced workers – often employed on zero-hour contracts by separate companies to work on campuses – has more than doubled in seven years, increasing by almost 70% from 2010 to 2017.
