UCU: Strike action during induction Autumn 2022

Motion

Motion text: Conference notes:
1. the continued decline in pay which has led to a real terms pay cut of over 20%
2. persistent inequalities in relation to insecure contracts, disability, gender and ethnicity
3. rampant work intensification and a decline in conditions which has led to widespread work-related ill health
4. the spectre of [more, concerted] attacks on staff in the TPS
5. an employer which refuses to engage in meaningful negotiations
6. the absence of an effective strategy to address the problem of ASOS-related pay deductions
Conference believe that an effective industrial action strategy must:
a. be informed by the views and experiences of members on the ground
b. take account of local variations in delivery patterns and activities
Conference resolves to recommend strike action of at least 5 consecutive days in the induction period of the academic year 2022/23, with exact timings to be locally determined in order to have maximum impact.
