- Motion text
Congress believes that the COVID pandemic raises significant challenges for UCU in protecting the health of its members (and employees) while facilitating participation in union-organised meetings. Congress calls for a review of policy and practice towards UCU meetings at national and regional level which takes account, inter alia, of the following:
1. The need to ensure maximum involvement in democratic debate and decision-making;
2. The desire of some members to meet in-person;
3. The desire of other members to meet on-line, particularly for health reasons;
4. Availability of technology that enables hybrid meetings, and the need for training in managing such meetings;
5. Environmental issues arising from travel to meetings;
6. The need to provide safe air in meeting venues;
7. Resourcing and cost considerations.
