Pay Ballot Result

Dear Colleagues

Pay Consultation/Ballot

The consultation and/or ballots held locally in each HEI on the pay offer from UCEA closed on 7th July although there are some groups who still have not made returns.

I will declare the result based on the information received to date. I will retain any late returns in the overall figures received in the office but these have not been used for the result.

Because different HEI reps provided results in different ways (total members polled, non returns or abstentions were recorded in some but not all locations) it is not possible to announce overall numbers of members in each location who took part in the consultations/ballot although it is possible to confirm the numbers in each HEI approving or rejecting the offer.

Totals

Total number of HEI's providing a return by 7th July 2006 55
Total of Amicus members in the UK providing a return
(not including abstentions) 3000
Total number of members approving the offer 2812
Total number of members who took part rejecting the offer 188
Percentage of members who took part approving the offer 93.7%
Percentage of members who took part rejecting the offer 6.3%

I will be writing to UCEA today and confirm the percentage acceptance for Amicus. You may wish to announce the overall results to any members.

Thank you for all representatives who assisted in the consultation/ballot process.

Yours sincerely

Mike Robinson
