- Motion text
Congress notes:
1. Financial concerns are a barrier to industrial action due to low pay of many members and current high cost of living
2. Workers in Unite (bus drivers) and Unison (education support workers) have achieved significant pay uplifts due to sustained action which was made possible by generous strike pay.
Congress resolves:
a. To implement a new strike pay policy where all members at institutions are contacted as soon as they have a strike mandate with details of how to claim strike pay and how much they will be entitled to
b. To remove the requirement for a payslip before strike pay is paid, so that members are able to manage their monthly budgets
c. To improve the information on the website so that members can understand the financial implications of strike action when making decisions.
