- Motion text
Congress notes that:
1. Punitive deductions for action short of strike are damaging, intimidatory and potentially unlawful.
2. Equality impact assessments should be carried out for such deductions.
3. Various legal arguments can be made to challenge these deductions.
4. Such deductions potentially constitute bullying and intimidation under definitions commonly adopted by our employers.
Where branches face these deductions, Congress resolves:
a. To provide meaningful legal guidance that challenges the deductions, with reference to case law and statute.
b. To prepare a model individual/collective grievance letter, based on the Birmingham UCU model, and to support branches in submitting mass grievances against their employer.
