UCU: Reparations

Motion

Motion text: Congress notes the growing demands for reparatory justice to reflect Britain’s
role – and that other former colonial powers – in the enslavement and
colonisation of African peoples.
Congress further notes:
1. The work undertaken by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for
Afrikan Reparations, including the UK conferences on reparations held in
2023 and 2024.
2. The annual RMT union reparations conference.
3. The African Union theme of the Year for 2025 is “Building a united front to
advance the cause of justice and payment of reparations to Africans”.
Congress calls on the NEC to ensure that UCU is actively involved in the
campaign for reparative justice.
