- Motion text
Since the merger many UCU branches have experienced a notable deterioration in the access to legal services and advice. There is no longer ready access to local solicitors; legal assistance is suspended prematurely without adequate consultation with local officers; and access to the service requires compliance with a more lengthy and bureaucratic process.
Congress calls on the executive to review UCU's provision of legal services with a view to providing a responsive service which can be accessed readily by officers and members, which can take UCU collective political and industrial priorities and local needs into account and in which decisions are not predominantly based on financial returns.
