SHESC notes
1. The intransigence of the employers over both HE disputes.
2. The growing support for a marking and assessment boycott among members.
SHESC believes
a. That a marking and assessment boycott can be an effective tactic
b. Branches must not be allowed to suffer punitive pay deductions in isolation.
SHESC calls on HEC to
i. Initiate a marking and assessment boycott at the earliest opportunity in all branches with a mandate.
ii. Notify bouts of ten days of strike action commencing in late May to support the ASOS
iii. Call BDMs before notification of further action.
iv. Adopt the practice of notifying further bouts of action before the previous bout has concluded.
v. Make an emergency appeal inside and outside the union to boost the Fighting Fund for branches suffering punitive deductions.
