HPL fractionalisation

Motion text

Conference notes that:

staff on hourly-paid, temporary or fixed term contracts suffer lower pay and worse terms and conditions than their permanent counterparts
in the current climate of cuts, HPLs are at greater risk of losing some or all of their hours
women are disproportionately represented among HPLs
the increased casualisation of education staff undermines terms and conditions for all workers across the sector, whatever their contractual situation
colleges do not automatically transfer staff to permanent contracts on the same basis as permanent, full-time lecturers as required by law.
Conference believes that:

the fight for HPL rights should be central to the UCU's agenda
UCU should fight for all HPLs to be fractionalised after 4 years continuous service
Hackney College UCU is seeking to fractionalise HPLs, and should be given the legal backing of the union to take this case forward.
