Policy decision: Staggering pay withdrawals
This motion was agreed by the branch at a general meeting 8 March 2022
The branch notes that this is an exceptionally hard time for members to lose pay, especially if action is going to continue into the spring and summer
The branch resolves:
- to provide members with options for reporting strike action to HR in different ways
- to instruct the branch to ask the SMT (as they did at Goldsmiths) to agree to the spread of any deductions over at least 5 month period
- to produce a guide for members on ways of reporting strike that involves staggering reporting to minimize financial hardship (following the example of Goldsmiths UCU)
- that, in the case we participate in a marking boycott, we set up faculty-level crowdfunds to help the hourly-paid staff before the strike fund is processed
Proposed by Charles Umney and Xanthe Whittaker, moved by Xanthe Whittaker, seconded by Gabriella Alberti, motion carried
