- Motion text
Congress welcomes the adoption by the UCU of the AoC 'Green Colleges' document and resolves to pursue further its current policy on climate change through 'Green Transport Plans', (See e. g. http://www. unison. org. uk/acrobat/B897. pdf) agreed with employers. In particular, Congress insists that it is the employers' duty to ensure that timely and appropriate public transport is available to employees. 'Climate Change' must not be used as an excuse for worsening conditions of work, such as increasing car parking fees, particularly when acceptable alternatives are not provided. Congress further resolves to support the development of environmental reps as an integral part of UCU's workplace activity.
