Congress notes Gordon Brown's budgetary announcement to cap public sector pay awards at 1. 9% while inflation is nearly 4% and rising.
Congress welcomes NUT, RCN and NAS/UWT resolutions calling for a public sector campaign of opposition.
Congress resolves to:
1. invite representatives of other public sector unions to discuss the building of a joint campaign at the first post-Congress NEC;
2. publicise to members the threats to pay and standards of living;
3. seek to involve members actively in an immediate campaign with other public sector unions against the pay freeze, including actions such as joint meetings locally and nationally;
4. send solidarity greetings to PCS members striking against privatisation, job losses and the pay freeze, and to UNISON Health members shortly to be balloted for action on pay.
5. prepare to ballot members for an initial one-day strike in cooperation with other public sector unions to protect lecturers' standards of living.
