Congress notes
1. Motion 26 was carried at UCU Congress 2023 but has not been implemented.
2. Motion 26 resolved: casualised members should have access to the central Fighting Fund from day 1 of industrial action; the fighting fund application process is made more accessible to casualised members
3. The disproportionate impact of casualisation on women, migrant, Black, and disabled members
4. The Cost of Living Crisis increases pressures on all members
Congress believes:
a. The most precarious members of our union must be better supported to advance equality in our union and workplaces
b. Strike payments are central to ensuring membership confidence to take industrial strategy across our sectors
Congress resolves:
i. To instruct that Motion 26 (2023) is urgently implemented across all UCU disputes, both local and UK-wide.
