- Motion text
Conference believes that tying the third year of the pay settlement to 'affordability' is divisive, and was both a tactical and strategic error. Some institutions will be in a financial position to pay more than others; and some will be 'unable' to meet any further increase. This is tantamount to 'letting the HE market decide', and will undermine national bargaining. The debate about affordability must be set in the wider context where there is money for war and Trident, but not for education.
Conference instructs the HEC to:
announce a target for the third year of the pay deal around which members can unite;
initiate an immediate discussion on specific demands that can be raised to achieve an equalising of resources between institutions
