- Motion text
Congress reaffirms its commitment to promoting disability equality throughout UCU and recognises that minimum legal compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act is not good enough for a trade union.
Congress is dismayed that little progress appears to have been made in promoting disability equality in UCU over the past year.
In order to achieve a culture fully committed to disability equality, Congress instructs the leadership of UCU to urgently:
1 Produce a Single Equality Scheme that demonstrates the meaningful involvement of disabled members and reflects their priorities for change.
2 Support a training and development programme to establish and facilitate Disabled Activist Networks, using both the expertise of UCU's Equality Unit and that of disabled lay members.
3 Resource disabled members' structures within UCU on a fair and equitable basis with other equality strands.
4 Ensure that the TUDA Disability Equality Charter is implemented at all levels of UCU.
