Conference notes
1. The unresolved disputes with UCEA over the 2020/21 and 2021/22 pay claims.
2. The need for an industrial campaign to defend USS by members in pre-92 institutions.
3. Despite the pandemic, student numbers have continued to rise, making the HE sector richer than ever.
Conference believes pensions are deferred pay. Defending pensions is inseparable from fighting over pay, pay equality, casualisation, redundancies and workloads.
Conference resolves
a. To ballot all HE members for industrial action in pursuance of the 2021/22 pay claim.
b. The ballot should be disaggregated and run concurrently with the USS ballot, or as soon as possible thereafter if that is impossible, with a view to action beginning in November.
c. Strike action should be escalating and indefinite, and coordinated where possible with action over USS.
