UCU: Pay and pensions justice

Motion

Motion text: HE Sector Conference notes:
1. Pension is deferred pay, and a right.
2. Many universities are aggressive pursuing coordinated plans to entrench pay and pension injustice, trashing terms and conditions and national collective bargaining to do so.
3. Such plans deprive people of dignity at work and after, affect TPS and USS members, and represent an existential threat to UCU.
4. Many branches (such as Northumbria and Southampton Solent) are fighting back individually and vigorously.

HE Sector Conference resolves to:
a. Recognise the fight for pay and pension justice for both TPS and USS members has national implications, requiring a coordinated response.
b. Fully support and resource branches campaigning in this fight.
c. Lobby UCEA, government, and pension providers to protect pension rights.
