UCU national subscriptions for 2012-13 have just been announced by UCU HQ, involving an overall increase in rates of around 5% for all salary bands.  Following this, Birkbeck UCU Committee met as delegated by our AGM on 23 May to fix the Local Association rate.

In order to minimise the impact of the national increases, Birkbeck UCU have decided to reduce the Local Association rate for all salary bands - by a matter of just a few pence for those in the highest salary bands but by a greater amount for those on low salaries, so that for those earning under £10,000 pa the total UCU subscription is actually lower next year than this.

  The new subscription rates, with the previous two years for comparison, can be downloaded here.
