Join us for the discussion, hosted by Campaign for UCU Democracy
6-7pm Wednesday 4 October
Book or register via Ticketsource or Zoom
This UCU event, hosted by Campaign for UCU Democracy, focuses on the current HE ballot on pay, the shape of any further industrial action in the wake of the recent marking and assessment boycott (MAB), and what a winnable pay claim might look like.
The first half of the meeting will include a 30-35 minute roundtable discussion from invited speakers which include the trade union historian John Kelly (Birkbeck UCU), Andrew Feeney (UCU HE Vice Chair, Northumbria University UCU), Agnes Flues (HEC member, University of Nottingham UCU), Ann Gow (HEC member, University of Glasgow UCU), Estelle Hart (Swansea University UCU Committee member), Demet Dinler (University of Sussex UCU), Ben Pope (University of Manchester UCU Committee).
The roundtable discussion will be followed by a wider question-and-answer session with audience members.
Issues we will consider:
- What should UCU try to achieve from a future pay dispute/claim?
- What would a winnable pay claim and/or dispute look like?
- What kinds of action, tactics or strategies are required following the MAB?
- Should UCU try to create long- and mid-term strategy aims, alongside short-term ones?
We meet at 6pm on Wednesday 4 October.
You can book or register for the event via Ticketsource or Zoom and join us for the debate.
Campaign for UCU Democracy 
Surely an event where people discuss together distorts pure plebiscitary democracy. What about the silent majority who don’t come to meetings like this? Shouldn’t their voices count just as much?
