The below email was sent to members on 22nd Feb, with initial notice for members of branch meeting circulated on 7th Feb.
Dear members
In anticipation of the Branch Meeting on Wednesday 28 February, 1-2pm, the message below promised that Branch Committee would circulate today any draft Branch motions proposed for this year’s UCU Congress. One motion has been proposed:
Reporting back of NEC members to constituencies
Congress instructs the NEC to formulate rule change motions to ensure the following:
- NEC members canvass opinions from branches and regions in their constituencies prior to NEC and NEC subcommittee meetings.
- NEC members produce a written report within two working weeks of NEC and NEC subcommittees to be circulated in the appropriate constituency.
- Appropriate mechanisms to be established by UCU to support circulation of reports from NEC members to constituencies.
If you wish to propose an amendment to this text, please email uonucubranch@gmail.com by Monday 26 February at 12 noon.
The motion will be voted upon, and Delegates to Congress will be elected, at the upcoming Branch Meeting. If you are interested to put yourself forward to attend as a Delegate, there is still time – the message below explains the how to nominate.
Zoom details for the Branch Meeting will follow.
In solidarity,
Tony
Tony Simmonds (UoNUCU Secretary)
