- Motion text
Conference notes that UCU stores data on the number and type of legal cases it takes forward in further and adult education on behalf of its members including race discrimination cases. Conference also notes that claims for racial discrimination are notoriously difficult to win at tribunal. Many cases settle before they reach the point of tribunal because employers are fearful of the negative publicity surrounding discrimination claims.
Conference believes it is important that casework data in further and adult education is published on a regular basis and made available to members to allow scrutiny, transparency and to ensure the effectiveness of support given to members.Conference resolves to:
1. collect casework data in further and adult education and publish it
2. publish the types of cases/complaints raised by members in each region
3. publish the number of cases involving race discrimination and the number of cases taken to Employment Tribunal by the union
