- Motion text
Conference notes:
1. roughly 1000 university staff jobs are being lost each month.
2. the funding of HE is broken and requires profound reform.
3. pay degradation is undermining the professional status and ability to retain
university staff (both ARPS and academic).
4. branches have fought against redundancies on an individual basis but we
need a concerted UK wide campaign.
5. HESC believes casualisation props up the broken UK university system and
exacerbates job insecurity.
Conference resolves:
a. To combine the national pay campaign and a campaign for sector-wide job
security.
b. To ballot for industrial action on these grounds.
c. To work with other trade unions and student unions to end casualisation in
universities
