UCU: FE conference democracy

Motion

Motion text: FESC notes:
1. we are a UK wide
2. FE Sector conference is the sovereign decision-making body in UCU
3. the role of the FEC is to take responsibility for implementing sector
conference decisions
4. a majority vote determines which motions become policy
5. local branches decide what action to take over local issues.
FESC believes:
a. an effective union discusses and debates. Once decisions are reached, we
must act in unity and decisions must be implemented
b. when a decision is made by sector conferences in relation to national action
it is incumbent on all branches involved to implement that decision
c. local branches cannot override decisions made by sector conference over
national action.
FESC resolves:
i. once decisions are reached, we must act in unity. Officers to ensure
decisions are implemented.
