    We agreed to ask EVERYONE to fill in + share this survey (it's anonymous but it disallows double counting via *internet magic*): - Please share WIDELY + ask all UCU *AND* USS members to fill it in. /4

    #USSvote survey
This branch notes that an independent group of UCU members has devised a survey of voting preferences, motivations, and other views surrounding the #USSvote, available here [http://tinyurl.com/UUK23marchoffer ].
This branch resolves to circulate this survey to all members, and that to share it with other UCU & USS members.

    We also agreed to call for a "HESC" (Higher Education Special Conference) to look at dispute under Rule 16.11 (which, if possible would be held immediately prior to or following Congress) - NB for an HESC to be called, 20 branches need to pass a resolution calling for it 2/

    UCU Rule 16.11 - available to read in full here: https://www.ucu.org.uk/media/8638/UCU-rules-2017-18/pdf/UCU_Rules_2017-18_inc_sched_D.pdf
