Congress notes:
1. UCU currently has joint membership schemes with 10 trade unions, but not yet Unite or UNISON.
2. Alongside UCU, Unite and UNISON are two of the most common trade unions for tertiary education staff in terms of membership.
Congress believes:
a. Joint membership may be beneficial for improving branch density, increasing/expanding local recognition agreements, and increasing the impact of industrial action.
Congress resolves:
i. To ask the relevant NEC subcommittee to develop a proposal for joint membership agreements with Unite and UNISON.
ii. To authorise NEC to approve said joint membership agreements, approach relevant bodies within Unite and UNISON, and implement them prior to Congress 2024.
iii. To request a report on these agreements to be provided to branches at the point of implementation, and a report on their take up to date to be provided to Congress 2024.
