果冻影院-UCU: Recommendation to vote 鈥淩EJECT鈥� in the USS online consultation

5 April 2023

This message is to let you know that following a decision at our branch meeting today, 果冻影院 UCU is recommending that you vote to 鈥淩EJECT鈥� the proposal to pause action in the USS online consultation currently being run by UCU HQ.

We had previously voted to call on members to vote to REJECT the UCEA offer on pay, casualisation, workload and pay gaps.

The motion that was passed is copied below at Appendix 1.

果冻影院 UCU Executive

Appendix 1 - Motion passed by 果冻影院 UCU Branch meeting, 5 April 2023

果冻影院 UCU notes:

  1. 听in which UUK:

  • expressed an intention to restore benefits by April 2024, but has not committed to so doing, while member institutions have to agree to this policy before it is enacted;
  • agreed to seek an improved risk-management mechanism in the light of the open and long-term nature of the scheme, but has made no commitment to the preservation of benefits or to restraint on contribution increases should the scheme experience future adverse valuations;
  • has made no commitment to repay USS benefits lost between April 2022 and 24.

  1. The 29 March 2023 UCU news item 鈥樷��.

  2. The resignation of USS Chief Executive Bill Galvin and his replacement with Carol Young (who led the听and designed and launched their replacement DC plan).

  3. That the limited progress made on USS is not conditional on agreeing to pause industrial action or settle the grounds of our dispute with UUK.

  4. That 果冻影院 UCU mandated delegates to the 29 March 23 BDM to 鈥榁ote 鈥榥o鈥� [to] putting the current commitments in UUK statements on USS to the members for formal consultation鈥�.

果冻影院 UCU believes:

  1. The coupling of the four fights and USS campaigns is strategically important.

  2. That the joint statement on UUK and UCU collaboration toward USS benefit restoration is not an 鈥榦ffer鈥� in the commonly understood sense of the term.

  3. An e-consultation vote to 鈥榥ote鈥� the joint statement on UUK and UCU collaboration could be used to stand-down or otherwise undermine the USS dispute.

  4. An e-consultation 鈥榥o鈥� vote on the joint statement on UUK and UCU collaboration would put pressure on individual employers, and increase political pressure on USS to resolve the dispute.

  5. That notification of the forthcoming marking and assessment boycott should be in support of both four fights and USS disputes.

果冻影院 UCU resolves:

  1. To preemptively email a statement, including this motion as an Appendix, to all 果冻影院 UCU members encouraging a 鈥榥o鈥� vote in any e-consultation on the USS statement.

  2. To use social media to encourage 果冻影院 UCU members to vote 鈥榥o鈥� in any e-consultation on the USS statement.

  3. To mandate delegates to the 19 April 23 Special Higher Education Sector Conference to support motions HE2, HE4, HE5*, HE10 and HE11, and oppose motions HE3 and HE9.

* Explanatory note: HE5 is a composite motion which includes a motion submitted by 果冻影院 UCU. See relevant motions mentioned above in the听听.

This motion was passed with 38% of the meeting in favour, 29% against, and 33% in abstention.
