Conference notes:
1. Guidance on holding branch delegate meetings (BDMs) https://www.ucu.org.uk/media/10885/Branch-delegate-meetings/pdf/ucu_branch-delegate-meetings.pdf
2. That BDMs have not been called routinely during the course of the USS and Four – Fights disputes prior to meetings of Higher Education Committee (HEC)
3. That votes have not always been held at BDMs
Conference believes:
a. That BDMs are essential to internal democracy, allowing members views to be expressed through their delegates
b. That BDMs greatly enhance HEC’s ability to take key decisions that reflect and align with members’ views
Conference resolves:
i. To take a much more robust approach to the use of BDMs
ii. To call a BDM before any HEC discussing UK-level disputes
iii. To circulate questions to branches sufficiently in advance
iv. To instruct HEC to take a strong steer from BDMs
