Huge Win on USS Pension Valuations:

@ucu have successfully negotiated a change to the methodology to be used for future #USS Pension Scheme valuations which will benefit all members. This change is a major achievement by UCU’s negotiating team and national officials, as well as all members who had voted for and taken the strike action which has unfortunately been necessary to focus the minds of employers and keep this on the agenda.
