SUMMARY:Branch meeting - industrial action strategy
DESCRIPTION:We will be holding a Branch meeting on Monday 9th January at 11am to discuss industrial action moving forward\, including issues regarding strike action and boycott. \nFind a link for the meeting in your inboxes – please note the correct Zoom link is the second one emailed out. \nBackground information: \nIn November\, the UCU Higher Education Committee voted for a Marking & Assessment boycott to begin in January\, and indefinite strike action to begin in February\, as part of our current mandate for industrial action. \nThere are differing opinions in the union about how to escalate our dispute given employers are refusing to put any improved pay offer on the table. The General Secretary Jo Grady has proposed a strategy of 2 days + 3 days strike action in February\, 2 days + 3 days strike action in March\, a re-ballot (the current mandate expires 20th April)\, further strike days in April and a marking boycott to begin in the summer term. Watch her video here. \nYou can read the case for indefinite strike action put by Zara Dinnen and James Eastwood\, Co-Chairs of Queen Mary UCU branch here: How to Stop a University. UCU Left also put out a statement in favour of indefinite strike action. \nThere are different proposals for what indefinite strike action could consist of. E.g. there is a proposal for ongoing strike action on 4 days a week with the 1 working day rotating. Read the case for this here/ watch the video. \nThis is the option favoured by the Kingston UCU branch committee. We will be voting on a motion about this option\, as follows: \nThis Branch believes: \n\nIn order to win action needs to be hard hitting and with no set end date.\nAction must be affordable to members and the union\nContinuous action may result in 100% loss of pay.\nStriking for 4 days per week should result in less than 57% loss of net pay for most members.\n\nThis Branch resolves: \n\nTo call on HEC to call strike action for 4 days per week\, with 1 day per week worked in rotation for an indefinite period.\nNotifications for first 5 weeks to be sent followed by notifications extending the action after 2 weeks of action and indefinitely as required thereafter until the disputes are settled or members vote to cease.\n\nWe will also be voting on the following motion related to action short of a strike: \nThis Branch believes: \n\nIn order to win action needs to be impactful\, whilst allowing us to best focus on our students.\nAction Short of Strike (ASOS) must be escalated in response to the lack of meaningful negotiation by employers\nWorkloads currently impact our ability to do our jobs.\nOne aspect of our workload that takes away time from our students and our responsibilities is attending meetings.\nAttending meetings is a voluntary activity\, outside of our core roles in educating students (undergraduate\, postgraduate\, research); it is therefore within the scope of ASOS as has been indicated in advance.\n\nThis Branch resolves: \n\nTo call on HEC to call an escalation of our Action Short of Strike to include not attending meetings for an indefinite period.\n\nWhich course of action we take will be discussed at a Branch Delegate Meeting (BDM) on 10th January before the next Higher Education Committee meeting on 12th January. It is therefore really important for members to come to this meeting to share your views so our delegates to the BDM can represent them. \nFurther articles on this debate have been collated by Edinburgh UCU: https://www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/indefinite-or-not

SUMMARY:Equality Espresso 5: LGBTQ+
DESCRIPTION:During the marking & assessment boycott\, we have been having daily meetings on Zoom to support one another in our current industrial actions. These informal meetings are really lively and supportive. \nWe would like to continue to use this forum to highlight and discuss equality issues at the University– which are all trade union issues – in an informal and accessible way. We are hoping members of our branch will share their personal experiences\, ideas for the branch\, perhaps art work\, research in the area\, and more! \nOn Monday the 20th of June we will finish off discussing LGBTQ+ topics for Pride Month! Nicola from our branch committee was an original member of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners – and she can say a few words about parallels between attacks on lesbians and gays in the 1980s and attacks on trans rights now. \nPlease come bring your thoughts and contributions to our Equality Espresso on Zoom at 10 a.m. all week. \nIf you would like to share a story anonymously with the group\, you can contact the KU UCU Equality Officer\, Lori Snyder\, ahead of time on kingstonucu@gmail.com with ATTN Equality Officer in the subject line. \nIf anyone needs anything to enable their attendance in addition to what can be achieved with their set up on Zoom\, please let us know

SUMMARY:Equality Espresso 1: race
DESCRIPTION:During the marking & assessment boycott\, we have been having daily meetings on Zoom to support one another in our current industrial actions. These informal meetings are really lively and supportive. \nWe would like to continue to use this forum to highlight and discuss equality issues at the University– which are all trade union issues – in an informal and accessible way. We are hoping members of our branch will share their personal experiences\, ideas for the branch\, perhaps art work\, research in the area\, and more! \nWe will start on Tuesday the 14th of June 10am\, discussing race equality and the associated pay gaps at Kingston University. Has any progress been made since we sent our 2020 Anti-Racism Recommendations to the VC? \nIf you would like to share a story anonymously with the group\, you can contact the KU UCU Equality Officer\, Lori Snyder\, ahead of time on kingstonucu@gmail.com with ATTN Equality Officer in the subject line. \nIf anyone needs anything to enable their attendance in addition to what can be achieved with their set up on Zoom\, please let us know
