Conference notes the successful strategy employed by Liverpool UCU to defeat redundancies at their institution, viz. a marking boycott, followed by the threat of industrial action affecting the following academic year.
Conference calls:
1. on HEC to schedule a ballot of members for all-out industrial action in the USS and Four Fights disputes, in order that action should commence from the beginning of the academic year 2022/2023;
2. on HEC to develop a strategy that can sustain strike action over months rather than weeks;
3. on the General Secretary to use her public platform to promulgate the intent of rendering the first semester of the next academic year non- viable; in particular, to make this intent known to potential international applicants.
This motion is to be viewed as independent to any action affecting the remainder of the academic year 2021-2022.
