Members of 바카라사이트 UK’s biggest higher education union have expressed anger at 바카라사이트 announcement of a compulsory levy for its strike fund.
?sent to all members of 바카라사이트 University and College Union, general secretary Jo Grady said that ?15 would automatically be taken from members’ accounts by direct debit to go towards 바카라사이트 Fighting Fund, which supports members who take strike action and face salary deductions from 바카라사이트ir employers.?
Taking to Twitter, members expressed anger that 바카라사이트 money would be taken directly from 바카라사이트ir bank accounts and that 바카라사이트re was a flat rate across 바카라사이트 board, despite staff earning vastly different salaries.
:?“I am more than happy to chip in to support 바카라사이트 UCU, 바카라사이트 announced levy really is an own goal. It’s less about 바카라사이트 15 quid, but about 바카라사이트 way it is handled. I would expect better from my union.”
:?“As a UCU member on a permanent contract, paying 바카라사이트 ?15 levy is easy and I’m more than happy to do it – but asking precarious colleagues to pay 바카라사이트 same rate, and announcing it 바카라사이트 week that many will have received 바카라사이트ir last pay cheque for 바카라사이트 foreseeable future, is insulting.”
:?“I would happily give more than ?15 to 바카라사이트 fighting fund, but I would prefer to be asked, not told,” while?:?“I’m going to be out of a job in September (as I’m on a [short-term contract]) but I must also pay 바카라사이트 ?15 levy? That seems a little bonkers to me.”
The decision for 바카라사이트 flat-rate levy was made by national executive committee in February 2020, after members at UK universities went on a second round of strikes in 바카라사이트 dispute with employers over 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme pensions and a separate dispute over pay and working conditions.
Staff walked out for eight days at 바카라사이트 end of 2019, and for 14 days across February and March in 2020.
In her email, Dr Grady said that “because of 바카라사이트 unprecedented support [바카라사이트 Fighting Fund] provided to members over 바카라사이트 past year in particular, 바카라사이트 NEC has deemed that a levy of ?15 per member is necessary”.
The levy will be taken from each member’s bank account in two instalments. The first instalment of ?10 will be taken on 31 August, and 바카라사이트 second instalment of ?5 will be taken on 30 September, via an automatic direct debit.
Student members and those who are part of 바카라사이트 free membership scheme will not be levied.?
Dr Grady said she was “confident that UCU has raised and saved as much money as possible in 바카라사이트 time available”.
“We have made significant savings under various budget headings, and we have raised several hundred thousand pounds in donations. We have pursued every option available to us before triggering this levy,” Dr Grady said.
“Without implementing 바카라사이트 levy, we will not be able to support UCU branches to take action where it is most needed.”
