Here is pic of UCU/Unite JNC (Joint Negotiating Committee) statement that's been given out to #ucu2018 delegates to look at before tmw. NEC majority voted for it. I didn't. I'm not in a faction. I recognise Unite's concerns about due process but also NEC duty to uphold democracy>
See also this chunk of thread for other thoughts I have about the mess we are in at #UCU2018:
See also this attempt I made at thinking through likely happenings tomorrow at #UCU2018:
And:
Does a way exist to combine remittance w guarantee swift return to democratic forum to discuss issues in m10+11?? But if remitted to NEC only (usual process4time cut-off @ Congress) doubt #UCU2018 delegates wd b happy after CBC ruled onto agenda+floor voted not to withdraw (Wed)>
> So back to: oh we need a process we don't have (yet)... that'd facilitate observance due process in event of complaint/censure/etc *BUT* not threaten to stifle democratic processes of bringing issues to Congress from branches via their properly passed/submitted motions #UCU2018
(So also back to vital importance of @sheffielducu's motion B19 (as amended) that brings about democracy review &which we as @leedsucu delegation were proud to second + fully support as mandated by our AGM <3 -tho admittedly time machine wd be helpful to have done it b4 #ucu2018)
Also end up thinking surely there has to be some way for debate to throw up new suggestions in unprecedented circumstances like these... obv we have rules about deadlines for motions+amendments etc but we need ideas to take things fwd that escape walkout/withdraw "dichotomy":-/
please unroll this too
