- Motion text
Congress wishes to record its anger and dismay at the impact of Trussonomics and the Conservative Government on disabled people.
Congress notes:
1. That any cuts in benefits will jeopardise the ability of disabled people to afford to power their specialist and essential equipment.
2. The Government’s failure to plan for the impact of any blackouts this winter on disabled people.
3. That on average life costs £583 per month more for disabled people and an extra £1000 per month for families with disabled children.
Congress calls on the General Secretary and the NEC to stand up and speak up for disabled members by:
a. Condemning any cuts to disability allowance and entitlements as well as calling for the reinstatement of the £20 cut to Universal Credit and improved access to PIP.
b. Highlighting the impact of the Cost-of-Living Crisis on UCU members especially disabled members.
