- Motion text
HESC recognises that we are currently involved in the fight-back against the worst threats to higher education for a long time and, as part of this, balloting on industrial action.
HESC reaffirms its commitment to equality being at the heart of all UCU's activities and a very important part of the industrial bargaining agenda.
HESC recognises the importance of winning the claim for job security for all members and that otherwise women, disabled, black and ethnic minority, LGBT, hourly paid and older staff may be targeted in a discriminatory way.
HESC also resolves to strengthen its links with women activists fighting the cuts in other trade unions, NUS, the Education Activists and Anti-Cuts Networks and community organisations.
