Dear colleague,
UCU Scotland’s Annual Congress takes place at the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel, Clydebank on Friday 23 March 2017. This is the annual conference where members in Scotland get the opportunity to debate current issues and shape the policies of our union. Themes for this year’s Congress include tackling stress, workload and bullying, gender based violence, and, of course, discussions will take place around the Union’s fight to protect the USS pension scheme given members voted overwhelming to defend your pension in the recent industrial action ballot. As well as the important business of considering motions that will set UCU’s policy and objectives, Congress is also a great social occasion and a good opportunity to meet colleagues from around Scotland.
All of our branches based within Scottish higher education institutions send delegates from amongst their members to Congress. If you would like to participate, please get in touch with your local UCU branch (delegation costs are met by the Union). You can find your branch contact at this link: https://www.ucu.org.uk/scotlandregion Alternatively you can contact UCU Scotland directly – scotland@ucu.org.uk – for more information or if you’re unsure of who to contact locally.
We would like to ensure that all branches have full delegations and that we are representative of all of our members.
I hope to see you at Scotland Congress.
Mary
