USS consultation expected

It is expected that this week the employers will receive a consultation document from UUK, acting as the conduit between the USS board and employers, outlining a proposed approach to the USS pension fund deficit, including an option for a change to scheme design. Between 18 and 25 July, a series of briefings for relevant branches are taking place.

You can find a UCU briefing on the issues here (UCUHE225).

A decision-making meeting, where a report and recommendations from negotiators can be discussed, will be held on 18 September 2014 for USS branches.
