SHESC notes the threat to USS defined benefits of massive contribution increases or benefits being slashed as a result of the Covid 2020 valuation.
SHESC believes that it is very likely that the current UUK proposal to cut our benefits, supported by USS, will be passed at the next USS JNC so that employers can save on their contribution.
SHESC instructs HEC to produce a letter for USS members to send to their MPs requesting their support in resolving the USS dispute by: derecognising UUK as representing the university sector, raising the issue with the Work and Pensions Committee and raising shortcomings in the Pensions Act 2004 that need addressing.
