UCU: Launch a campaign to end incorporation

Motion

Motion text: Notes
1. incorporation in 1993 severed the link with democratically elected local authorities introducing the market into the sector
2. Labour's radical manifesto pledge to create an NES unifying the sector with a pledge to create funding parity with schools, restore FE funding, end loans, and restore EMA.

Believes
a. incorporation has narrowed the curriculum to employability, made FE and adult ed one of the most casualised sectors, intensified competition, and led to soaring principals' pay and falling wages and conditions
b. incorporation has failed; we need an alternative.

Resolves to
i. launch a campaign to end incorporation including: a big conversation on the theme 'end incorporation' with public meetings in regions hosting debate with FE stakeholders, community groups, NUS, unions and employers.
ii. call a march and national lobby of parliament in the autumn.
