UCU: Pay campaign

Motion

Motion text: Conference notes the limited success in the campaign to ensure implementation of the modernised pay scales. The following should be considered as part of a campaign for future action: a renewed national campaign among members to fully explain the issues including imaginatively presented leaflets showing inflation rates, comparison with school teachers etc; a plan of action to include co-ordinated protests/demonstrations on college gates in the lunch hour to be organised by branches to aim to gain publicity and provide an opportunity to involve the membership as a whole; other actions short of industrial action including letter writing campaigns, lobbies of Governors, lobbies of the DfES; finally a nationally well funded and fully organised campaign to win support for industrial action to take place in all colleges where the national pay rates are not being implemented in full.
