Dear Colleague
Call for nominations:
FE Ratification Panel Members
Further
Education Sector Conference 2016 amended and adopted motion FE7 which called
for the creation of a Further Education Agreement Ratification Panel, with the
purpose of overseeing local agreements on pay and conditions, with four members
elected from FESC delegates each year. These elections will take place amongst delegates to the
on-line Congress and sector conferences taking place 29 and 31 May, 2 June 2021
(sector conferences).
Further Education Committee adopted recommendations in relation to the process of election to the panel:
路 That a national ratification panel be established by the election at FESC of 4 panel members nominated in advance in line with the procedures to establish employment status used to elect negotiators.
路 That FEC elect a vice-chair for membership of the panel.
路 That at least two panel members be female and
路 That no two members of the panel be from the same region.
This is a formal request for nominations for members of the FE agreement ratification panel who are elected from sector conference.
All delegates
to Further Education Sector Conference who are in current employment are
eligible to be nominated 鈥� including members of the Further Education Committee.
At the time of submission of nomination candidates must be in qualifying employment under rule 3.1.1 or have been in qualifying employment within the preceding 6 months, unless a pattern of casualised work in the post-16 education sector can be proven within the preceding 24 months.听 Candidates must provide, as part of their nomination, evidence of their qualifying employment, normally in the form of a copy of a payslip for work carried out within the preceding 6 months, or, in the case of a member who is self-employed, evidence of payment for work carried out within the preceding 6 months, or of a pattern of casualised work in the post-16 education sector within the preceding 24 months, to be received by the deadline for nomination.听 Any dispute in regards to a candidate鈥檚 eligibility will be referred for decision to the chair of FEC who shall be advised by the National Head of Democratic Services.
The process
is by self-nomination. If your sector conference delegate wishes to stand as
one of the four elected ratification panel members they should complete the
form attached at Appendix 1 and email the completed form to dbussell@ucu.org.uk
together with proof of employment (normally in the form of a payslip) by 17:00 on Friday 21 May 2021.
An electronic
ballot will be held after the interim on-line Congress and sector conferences
on 29 and 31 May, 2 June 2021 (sector conferences). The electorate will be the
FE sector conference delegates who registered for and joined that on-line
meeting.
Those members
elected will serve until the next annual Congress meeting in 2022.
Yours sincerely
Dr Jo Grady
General Secretary
