Thank you to everyone who attended our Extraordinary General Meeting on Monday 23 September to discuss UCEA’s pay offer for the 2024/25 pay round. We had a lively discussion about UCEA’s offer and ultimately voted to reject the pay and pay-related offer and that we would be in favour of UCU carrying out a ballot for strike action. Our delegate, Caroline Proctor, brought our branch position to the Branch Delegate Meeting on Tuesday. The results of Branch Delegate Meeting are now available here, but the headline results are that the majority of branches rejected the pay offer, but accepted the pay-related elements of the offer; and were in favour of UCU carrying out a consultative and industrial action ballot over this offer.
After several years in the role of Treasurer for the branch, Felix is leaving the University in December for pastures new, so Warwick UCU Committee is seeking a new treasurer. This is an excellent opportunity to get more involved in UCU at Warwick with a role involving overseeing the Warwick UCU budget and actioning financial matters related to the Committee and membership more widely. If you are interested in the role or have any questions, please email Felix.
Don’t forget the beginning-of-term social taking place on Wednesday 2 October 16:30-18:30 at the Dirty Duck! This is an excellent opportunity to meet other members and share some free non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. All members welcome!
