We are committed to seeking a negotiated settlement on pay and the four pay related elements and we are happy to meet again at Acas once the unions have completed their consultation processes.

/ Ends.

Whether or not any action goes ahead at any particular time will be subject to a democratic decision at that time.

Without a mandate for industrial action our power is significantly weakened, so the unions will not give up their right to run ballots to obtain that mandate up front for a period of 12 months, and believe it is unreasonable of UCEA to expect them to do so.

The requirements of the TU Act 2016 on trades unions are onerous and require trade unions to give advance notice of ballots, run postal ballots, be open to challenge on the details of those ballots, achieve a 50% turnout threshold and a positive majority vote in favour of action,

The joint unions wish to make it clear that we will not agree to any cessation of industrial action up front for the next 12 months and that the unions and UCEA must respect our trade union democratic processes.
