Joint UCU, UUK and USS statement on the Chair of the JNC

UCU, UUK and the USS trustee understand the strength of feeling surrounding the 2020 valuation. We cannot, however, accept personal attacks and intimidation aimed at the Chair of the Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC), whether through social media or other channels. The Independent Chair is appointed by both stakeholders and is a role that requires integrity at all times. We are grateful for the current Chair’s hard work and dedication in seeking to support the JNC, per its responsibilities under the Scheme Rules, through an extremely challenging period.
