- Motion text
Congress condemns attempts by the government to impose pay limits on the public sector. UCU rejects the myth that pay rises are the cause of inflation. The union commits itself to joint campaigning with other public sector unions to resist a public sector pay freeze or pay limits. UCU is not in the business of accepting pay cuts for our members and insists that pay settlements must exceed inflation.
Congress affirms the importance of local joint union committees in organising pay campaigns and in defending and extending employee rights in the workplace.
Congress recognises the importance of linking pay with the defence of education in the face of the government's commitment to neo-liberalism, privatisation, and a business dominated agenda.
UCU commits itself to establishing and strengthening local joint union committees in colleges and universities.
