Rally starts at 12.30pm. \n  \n\n  \nWHY WE ARE STRIKING \nWe are university staff and members of the University and College Union (UCU) and we are taking strike action to defend our right to a fair pension. University\nemployers want to end guaranteed pensions and reduce retirement income for all. \n  \nMEMBERS STRIKING IN OUR REGION \n\nDurham University\nNewcastle University\nThe Open University\n\n  \nPENSIONS UNDER ATTACK \nUniversity staff have always accepted pay levels that are lower than comparably skilled professions\, partly because we had a decent pension. Now our right to a well-earned retirement is under attack. \n  \nWHAT EMPLOYERS’ HARDLINE PROPOSALS WOULD MEAN \n\nFinal pensions would depend on how the stock market performs not on contributions.\nA reduction in retirement benefits by between 20% and 40% depending on grade and length of service. A typical lecturer stands to lose around £10\,000 a year.\nThe worst pensions in the education sector\, far worse than those available to both school teachers and staff in ‘new’ universities.\nA recruitment and retention crisis as staff seek better financial security elsewhere.\n\n  \nSTRIKING IS ALWAYS A LAST RESORT \nNo education professional wants to strike but we also deserve long-term security and our students deserve staff who are able to focus fully on the job. We have called for extended negotiations with the employers but\, disappointingly\, talks ended with the changes being imposed. \nStaff feel angry and betrayed but even now we call on university leaders to work with us to find a solution and avoid widespread disruption for our students. \n  \nPLEASE SUPPORT OUR STRIKE \nUCU members voted overwhelmingly for this action on the highest turnout this union has seen. We have been left with no choice but to take strike action and to withdraw the goodwill that the university relies upon but that has been taken for granted. \n  \nStand with us and support our strike for a fair pension. \nRead the latest on the USS strike action: ucu.org.uk/strikeforuss \n  \n\n  \nAre you a student at Durham\, Newcastle or the Open University?\nTo help avoid the strikes and protect staff pensions please write to your university asking them to resume national negotiations with UCU immediately. \nOnline form to contact Durham University \nOnline form to contact Newcastle University \nOnline form to contact The Open University \n  \n\n  \nAre you a parent of a child studying at Durham or Newcastle University?\nTo help avoid the strikes and protect staff pensions please write to the head of your child’s university asking them to resume national negotiations with UCU immediately. \nOnline form to contact Durham University  \nOnline form to contact Newcastle University \n  \n\n  \n  URL:https://ucunorthern.org.uk/event/uss-dispute-rally-22feb2018/ LOCATION:Grey’s Monument\, Newcastle\, Grey Street\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, NE1 6JG\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180203T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180203T130000 DTSTAMP:20260429T233355 CREATED:20170714T103302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170714T150622Z UID:3890-1517648400-1517662800@ucunorthern.org.uk SUMMARY:Regional Committee : Saturday 3rd February 2018 DESCRIPTION:Saturday 3rd February 2018 \n\n\n\nVenue\nUniversity of Cumbria\, Learning Gateway Building\, \nFusehill Street\, Carlisle\, CA1 2HH\n\n\nMap to venue\nOnline map\n\n\nRegional Executive\nRoom LG101\n9am – 10am\n\n\nFE Sector Committee\nRoom LG102\n10am – 11.30am\n\n\nHE Sector Committee\nRoom LG101\n10am – 11.30am\n\n\nFull Committee\nRoom LG102\n12pm – 1pm\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nRegional Administrator issues a reminder of the upcoming meeting \n \n12th January\n\n\nDeadline for the Regional Secretary and Sector Committee Secretaries to receive items for their agendas \n \nFriday \n19th January\n\n\nDeadline for the Regional Secretary to receive branch motions and all reports. \nMotions submitted by branches must be certified by a Branch Officer as properly approved by a quorate general branch meeting in accordance with Section 18 of the June 2016 model local rules\, and be consistent with UCU remit. \nReports: Branch reports\, reports from NEC members\, reports from delegates appointed by the region to regional TUC and any other related bodies\, Regional Officer reports \n \nFriday \n19th \nJanuary\n\n\nDeadline for the Regional Administrator to receive documents from: \nRegional Secretary \n1)Regional Executive agenda \n2) Regional Committee agenda \n3) All received motions and reports \nMinutes Secretary \n1)   Minutes of last Regional Executive \n2)   Minutes of last Regional Committee \nFE Sector Secretary \n1)   FE Sector Committee agenda \n2)   Minutes of last FE Sector Committee \nHE Sector Secretary \n1)   HE Sector Committee agenda \n2)   Minutes of last HE Sector Committee \n \nMonday \n22nd \nJanuary\n\n\nThe Regional Administrator will upload the agendas\, minutes of previous meetings\, reports and motions to a password protected section of the regional website to allow papers to be accessed from mobile electronic devices. ucunorthern.org.uk/category/regional-committee-papers/ \nIf you require a reminder of your password please contact the Regional Administrator. \nPapers will also be emailed.

There are a growing proliferation of names and titles for these staff such as instructor\, tutor\, facilitator\, progression coach\, trainer\, assessor\, learning support assistant\, teaching assistant to name but a few. These staff may be either college based or in workplace based learning environments\, their roles vary considerably as do their terms and conditions of employment. What these staff do have in common is that they have student facing roles that are part of the curriculum delivery of a college. \nUCU has developed bargaining and negotiations guidance for branches to develop a branch level bargaining agenda to improve the terms and conditions for these staff which can be found here: ucu.org.uk/non-lecturers. \nUCU’s FE National Negotiators want to include an element in the FE England 2017/18 Joint Trade Unions Pay and Conditions Claim that seeks to improve the terms and conditions for non-lecturer members. The UCU national negotiators have agreed to consider advice regarding what that claim might look like from a reference group made up of non-lecturer members to assist in formulating this element of the national claim. \nBranches are invited to send a representative member to a national reference group meeting who are not in lecturer roles or who have bargained on behalf of members in these roles to help with the formulation of the national claim for these staff. The meeting will be held: \n2pm – 4pm\, Friday 17 February either at UCU’s London offices (Carlow Street\, London NW1 7LH). There will by the option for joining the meeting remotely via Skype or telephone conference. \nPlease indicate your attendance to David Bussell dbussell@ucu.org.uk.
