Dear Members
PAY AND PENSIONS STRIKE
DEADLINE: Post deadline is 28th October
LOST BALLOT PAPER: Contact UCU by 23rd October
MINIMUM 50% TURNOUT REQUIRED FOR STRIKE ACTION.
Why you should vote?
Voice – Voting will strengthen your Voice enabling UCU to negotiate effectively on pensions, workloads, pay and equality locally and nationally.
Oppose – We Oppose harmful and ineffective changes. The pension strike in 2018 led to the Joint Expert Panel which stated that our pension is viable with lower contributions than those now being rolled out.
Turnout – A Turnout of 50% is required for strike action to be lawful. Not voting hinders the threshold being met. A strong turnout will enable Kent UCU to negotiate from a position of strength.
Equality – A strong vote in support of action will enable us to campaign on Equality, workloads, precarious contracts, and erosion of real terms pay.
VOTE by 28th October. The 2018 strike showed what can be achieved through collective action. We can do this again.
