- Motion text
The pandemic has rendered women and those with protected characteristics invisible in FE. Post pandemic changes can modify and improve lives. Cholera led to clean, safe water, Influenza to the concept of public health. However, there is little evidence to suggest that a post pandemic world will be any more equal for all women than before. Whilst the pandemic has focused upon health issues, little has been uttered about the socio-economic effects upon women in general and those with protected characteristics in particular.
The WMSC believe that the post pandemic world has cloaked women in FE with invisibility at their intersectionality, especially when combined with precarious contracts and lack of representation in positions of power.
We call upon UCU to:
1. Conduct an audit of the gender pay gap and casualisation in FE
2. Construct a bargaining position similar to the 4Fights.
