UCU: No ‘honey-moon’ for a Labour government

Motion

Motion text: Notes:
1. The coming general election
2. 15 years of Tory government
3. The Labour Party’s adoption of Tory policies.
Believes that:
a. Millions of workers want to see the end of this Tory government and attacks on workers at home and abroad.
b. Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is preparing the ground for more privatisations, more cuts in public spending and more wars abroad.
c. If Labour win the general election we need to prepare to organise to resist them introducing more austerity.
d. The best way to stop a future Labour government carrying out a Tory agenda is by striking.
Resolves to:
i. Lobby the Labour Party to introduce more funding for the post-16 education sector.
ii. Encourage and support all those who are prepared to strike in the run up to and in the week of the general election to amplify our demands.
