- Motion text
HESC notes that:
1. the June 2021 HESC motion HE12 was passed with amendment 12A.1 committing the union to organise a member-level campaign and ballot members for industrial action over the summer from June to September, should the employers not join UCU in pressuring USS and the pensions regulator to cancel the 2020 valuation in favour of a new 2021 valuation using an 'evidence-based moderately prudent approach'.
2. the employers did not do so. But HEC failed to enact motion HE12.
HESC resolves to
a. ensure HEC does not repeat this mistake
b. immediately begin the balloting of members for industrial action to defend the USS DB scheme on its current basis, on a schedule sufficient to enable members to take action in the Autumn Term.
c. implement the public campaign among members outlined in the aforementioned resolution.
