Our branch has signed a joint statement with the University of Bath on USS pensions.

This is the fifth joint statement we have negotiated and signed with the University about USS pensions in three years. As in the past, it is welcome as a sign that the University commits itself to a progressive position on resolving the USS dispute.

While we hope this is the last such statement needed, realisitcally UUK has a history of backsliding and moving goalposts. So as well as welcoming the University of Bath’s local commitments here, we urge members to return their ballot papers to renew our mandate for industrial action on USS pensions.
