- Motion text
Congress notes effective internal communication within the union – both at branch level and regional/national level – is one of the most important factors for ensuring effective organising and democratic decision-making.
Congress resolves:
1. to invest in UCU’s communications infrastructure, to better support the business of the union and the engagement of all members in democratic decision-making.
2. to provide branches with the basic digital tools they need to conduct committee business, to free up their time from basic administration to allow more productive organising and campaigning.
3. to provide a communications solution that allows cross-branch communications; that can facilitate regional, national and special interest group discussions in one secure and members-only space. Members need a single centralised digital space for; hosting video meetings and conferences; facilitating delimited and secure discussions; and enabling digital decision-making.
