USS Pensions Dispute - Members' Views On 'Agreement' Needed Urgently

UCU members will have have received an email tonight (12th March) from Sally Hunt regarding the ACAS talks. The negotiators have come back with a proposal that we assume they wish to put to members.
https://www.ucu.org.uk/media/9300/Agreement-reached-between-UCU-and-UUK-under-the-auspices-of-ACAS/pdf/UCU_UUK_agreement_at_ACAS_12_March_Final.pdf
 
UCU’s Higher Education Committee (HEC) meets today (13th March 2018) to discuss this. We assume that the HEC will make a decision on whether to ballot on this or reject and whether to suspend or continue action.
 
Unfortunately within this timeframe it has been impossible to organise a members’ meeting for our branch.
 
If you see this message it would be good to know your views. Please email ucu@open.ac.uk with whether you agree or not.
 
For information there is also an open letter in circulation for those who believe the proposal should be rejected.
