Appendix 1 - motions for debate

Solidarity with Queen Mary University UCU

香港六合彩中特网 UCU notes that whereas over 15 branches have settled Marking and Assessment Boycotts and won gains without a penny being deducted from participating members, Queen Mary University of London (QMU) UCU members are facing the threat of 100% pay deductions in July.

香港六合彩中特网 UCU resolves to pledge up to 拢10,000 from our hardship fund to QMU UCU should this become necessary, and to encourage members to donate up to a day's pay directly to the hardship fund of QMU.

Solidarity with in-housing campaigns

香港六合彩中特网 UCU notes:

1. Since 香港六合彩中特网 decided to outsource cleaning, security, and catering services a decade ago, workers have seen a significant decline in pay and conditions. Previously 香港六合彩中特网 security staff were paid over 拢15/hr. Now workers are campaigning actively to be brought in house and for fair pay.

香港六合彩中特网 UCU supports:

1. The IWGB and UNISON campaigns calling for 香港六合彩中特网 to end outsourcing, zero hours contracts, and poor pay.
2. The IWGB campaign for fair pay for security guards, cleaners and porters at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
3. The Condemnation of LSHTM's targeted suspension of unionised workers.

香港六合彩中特网 UCU resolves to:

1. Publicly support both the IWGB and UNISON campaigns (e.g. on social media, in regular communications with members)
2. Circulate information about the campaigns and actions members can take on an ongoing basis and, in the first instance, by 5 July.
3. Publicly support IWGB's demand to be recognised by 香港六合彩中特网, and put pressure on 香港六合彩中特网 accordingly.
4. Actively work to encourage dialogue and collaboration between UNISON and IWGB.
5. Donate 拢1000 to the听听(if sufficient funds are available), who announced on 20th June that they have voted to go on strike for an end to discrimination and for fair pay.
6. In the event of a strike related to any of these campaigns and in the case that sufficient funds are available, make a donation to the relevant strike fund(s) to show our solidarity.

Responding to the Global Climate Crisis

香港六合彩中特网 UCU Notes:

1. The most recent IPCC report published in April highlights how action to tackle the cause of the global climate emergency is now urgently required.
2. The UK Government鈥檚 continued support and funding of Fossil Fuel Industry.
3. That the global climate crisis is an issue for all workers connected as it is with issues of decolonization, global inequality, economic crises and workers rights.
4. There are many staff at 香港六合彩中特网 engaged with 鈥榮ustainability/ climate change/ decolonization related activities who can be drawn into UCU related activities through activism on this issue.

香港六合彩中特网 UCU Resolves to:

1. Establish a climate emergency / sustainability activist network to develop and campaign and build UCU action on this issue.
2. Support XR Scientist鈥檚 at 香港六合彩中特网 in their campaigns to bring urgent action to the Global Climate Emergency including providing representation for individuals in the case of any legal actions that arise from their campaigning activities.
3. Support the student led Fossil Free Research campaign to campaign for 香港六合彩中特网 to take a lead in being a fossil free funding Institution.

5. To support 鈥淲e All Want to Just Stop Oil鈥� a network of environmental and progressive labour movements, faith communities, and charities by:
   1. Promoting the National March and Sit Down on 23 July 2022
   2. Making a donation of 拢1000 to support and build the network

International solidarity - PAME congress

香港六合彩中特网 UCU believes that international solidarity is at the core of our Trade Union practices. We have plenty to learn by sharing experiences with other trade unions around the world, especially ones with experience and victories in hard-won struggles and industrial actions, and plenty to give by actively supporting them.

The All-workers Militant Front in Greece ("PAME") is one such grassroots organisation, that brings together unions and individual trade unionists from all sectors, under a militant workers movement. Their congress in Piraeus, Greece, on June 17-19, welcomed participants from Greek and international Trade Unions, to discuss their experiences, make connections in common struggles, and show their solidarity.

香港六合彩中特网 UCU resolves to cover the transportation expenses for one delegate to this conference, to the amount of 拢620.

Motion on Branch Administration

Notes:

1. The full-time Branch Administrator left 香港六合彩中特网 UCU in Dec 2019.
2. We are the largest Branch in the UK, we raise a local membership fee and have substantial funds.
3. The Branch has employed a series of 3 temps since 2019, whose work is valued and appreciated. However, temps do not enjoy full employment rights, or the right to be represented by the UCU staff branch of UNITE. All workers should have the right to be represented by a recognised trade union in negotiations with their employer.
4. UCU nationally and the Branch are opposed to casualisation and outsourcing.
5. UCU nationally and the Branch are taking industrial action against casualisation in the Four Fights dispute.
6. The capacity of the Branch to respond to members is limited by the lack of a full-time Branch Administrator.

Resolves:

1. Instructs the Branch Committee to work with London Region UCU to advertise for and employ a Branch Administrator under the normal terms and conditions of UCU employees as soon as practical.
2. That the broad work priorities of the Branch Administrator will be decided by the Executive Committee, and day to day supervision by the President or Vice-President.

Note that the movers and seconders of this motion have asked to be identified as Holly Smith and Saladin Meckled-Garcia, respectively.
