Union Policy is decided by UCLU Council, a Members’ Meeting, or a Referendum, and is binding for two years. Here you can find Current Union Policy and Past Policies that have now lapsed. You can also view Amendments to Governing Documents, which, when passed, form the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Byelaws of UCLU. They are decided by meetings of Union Council, Members’ Meetings or Referenda and are permanent, and can only be changed by further Amendments being passed.
