UCU has today written to @USSEmployers setting out some areas where we want them to commit to meaningful action. You can read the full letter here ucu.org.uk/media/10631/UC… #UCUStrike #UCUStrikesBack #USS 1/

@USSEmployers The letter sets out the validity of the 8% basic member contribution rate established in the scheme rules #UCUStrike #UCUStrikesBack #USS 2/

@USSEmployers It explains the need for jointly agreed standards for engagement with stakeholders by USS, especially by the USS Chief Executive. #UCUStrike #UCUStrikesBack #USS 3/

@USSEmployers The union says the Trustee Chair, David Eastwood, should recuse himself pending full investigation into his conduct, especially around The Pension Regulator’s complaint of misrepresentation by #USS and the treatment of Jane Hutton. #UCUStrike #UCUStrikesBack 4/

@USSEmployers UCU wants @USSEmployers to push for the report into Jane Hutton’s conduct made public and, should the report make clear the unfair nature of Jane Hutton’s dismissal, the union wants them to join UCU in calling for her reinstatement. UCUStrike #UCUStrikesBack #USS 5/

@USSEmployers The letter says there should be full, collaborative consultation between USS and @USSEmployers over the technical provisions for the 2020 valuation and therefore the contribution rate. UCUStrike #UCUStrikesBack #USS 6/6
