We are holding an online local members meeting on Monday 17 January at 2:00pm via Zoom to establish a branch position on further industrial action. This will then be taken to the Branch Delegates Meeting on 18 January, which will in turn inform the HEC meeting on 19 January.
To join the meeting please use the Zoom link which has been sent to all HWUCU members by email. If you require a reminder, please contact the local branch office or a member of the branch committee.
During the meeting will create polls around the following questions that UCU asked us to discuss:
- What are members’ views about the type and timing of future industrial action?
- What are members’ priorities in terms of the disputes? What does winning look like for members?
- How should members be engaged in future decision making about the dispute?
- Do members have any concerns or worries about the dispute that they want HEC to be aware of?
Growing The Powerbase
We are a strong Branch with well-attended AGMs/EGMs and an active membership and Committee but we can always use more help. To find out more about the work of our local HWUCU branch please check out the rest of this website and our Twitter feed at @UCU_HWUBranch.
