HESC:
Notes:
1) The drastic cuts proposed in higher education and public services.
Welcomes:
1) Following concern expressed from UCU branches, the convening of a HE Special Sector Conference to consider the attacks we face due to these cuts.
Believes:
1) UCU must take a strong position to defend the future and quality of higher education.
2) The Fund Our Future campaign to Defend Jobs/Defend Higher Education commencing on November 10th should be vigorously pursued and effective industrial action considered.
3) The timing of any such industrial action needs to be carefully considered and should commence when we have clear information about the government’s intentions.
Affirms:
1) Its willingness to ballot for industrial action to defend jobs, pensions, conditions and the future of higher education.
Calls:
1) For the HE Special Sector Conference to discuss a detailed plan and timeline for action to resist all attacks outlined above.
