Motion title

Meeting date

Motion
FE14
Motion text

FESC notes:
1. Increased technology use in FE during the pandemic, and therefore in the amount of data our employers hold on members.
2. Data Protection Impact Assessments should be carried out when implementing new systems using workers’ personal data, but unions are not consulted about them.
3. The TUC working group on AI, which produced the Reps Guide on AI.
FESC believes AI can be useful but mustn’t infringe on workers’ rights or discriminate against individuals and must be fully accessible and user friendly.
FESC resolves to:
a. Set up an expert group on AI and datafication bringing together UCU members in the field to identify threats and opportunities in both sectors and make recommendations on UCU AI policy.
b. Establish the role of a Data Rep in each branch.
