- Motion text
Conference notes with concern proposed changes to USS, including raising the retirement age to 65 for new entrants and classing members who leave and return as new entrants.
Conference believes that an increased retirement age is only acceptable in return for improvements in the scheme, for example changing to a one-sixtieth accrual rate.
Conference supports UCU's negotiators in challenging such draconian changes, and instructs them to resist any move which would render USS significantly inferior to comparable schemes.
Conference further instructs UCU's negotiators to seek special protection for members who suffer breaks in service as a result of the ending of a fixed-term contract or a TUPE transfer.
