UCU: National Organising Plan

Motion

Motion text: This Congress welcomes the initiative taken by UCU Congress in approving a National Organising Plan and recognising that each region and devolved nation should customise this into an appropriate plan suited to the requirements of the branches and, where applicable, the need to engage with devolved governments, funding bodies and other organisations as well as undertaking generic organisational development to strengthen the union itself.
Congress calls on the NEC to agree to roll the 2008/9 National Organising Plan forward for 2009/10, as the objectives are both ambitious and enduring. The year 2009/10 should be used for wider consultation with a view to developing a more focused National Organising Plan for May 2010 onwards and to ensure that national Congresses including UCU Scotland Congress and regional committees can inform the development of the detailed plan prior to ROCC and National Executive Committee drafting the plan for approval by UCU Congress.
