Branch officers and members assembled at the Registry with a copy of the UCU national petition about the USS today.

3 members of the committee then went inside to meet our Vice-Chancellor Dame Julia Goodfellow, who is also President-elect of Universities UK. She was kind enough to listen while we reiterated the importance we attach to the issue of proper pensions as well as offering some insight into the University perspective and quizzing us about prospects for the USS and other recent developements in the landscape.
