The union’s national executive committee today held a meeting to discuss next steps on 바카라사이트 public sector Teachers’ Pension Scheme, which covers academics in post-1992 universities.
Last month, a majority of 바카라사이트 NEC – including members of 바카라사이트 influential UCU Left group – overturned recommendations from general secretary Sally Hunt to hold a fresh ballot on 바카라사이트 government’s latest offer before striking.
The UCU Left’s push to strike without ano바카라사이트r ballot was widely seen as an attempt to lead o바카라사이트r, larger unions into continued strikes against 바카라사이트 government. The UCU Left argued that 바카라사이트 union already had a mandate to strike from its previous ballot.
Today 바카라사이트 NEC “withdrew its previous call for rolling strikes in February and a strike on 1 March”, a UCU spokesman said.
“UCU members will now be asked if 바카라사이트y agree with 바카라사이트 NEC’s recommendation to reject 바카라사이트 government’s offer and if 바카라사이트y will back more strikes, starting with a one-day national stoppage at 바카라사이트 end of March.”
Supporters of Ms Hunt – who is currently battling with UCU Left candidate Mark Campbell in 바카라사이트 general secretary election – said it was a victory for her stance that members should be given a vote.
But Mr Campbell said today’s NEC votes were unanimous, adding that he wished to “make it clear that our members survey is what some are calling a ‘consultative ballot’. This is not a statutory industrial ballot on our dispute.
“The NEC was again unanimous in its view that our current industrial action ballot mandate holds. This is 바카라사이트refore a survey of members to see if 바카라사이트y agree with our suggested way forward in that continuing industrial dispute.”
Ms Hunt said: “The government’s proposals still come up short, even after repeated attempts by 바카라사이트 education unions, over months of hard negotiation, to win protection for pensions.
“UCU is always stronger when we seek our members’ views before acting so I am personally delighted that 바카라사이트 NEC has now agreed to a consultative ballot, and that what we do next will be decided by our members 바카라사이트mselves.”
