00:00 - 00:03Marsh forced us to release the asset projections
00:04 - 00:05He knows USS isn't in deficit
00:05 - 00:07and the current contribution rate
00:08 - 00:12would be enough for the next 20 years
00:12 - 00:15even without de-risking our assets.
00:17 - 00:19Fine. I assume UCU leadership
00:19 - 00:21will muzzle him as usual.
00:24 - 00:26Mr Galvin...
00:27 - 00:28Marsh...
00:31 - 00:33Marsh already tweeted about it. Then Otsuka.
00:34 - 00:36USS Briefs and APJ are doing stuff too.
00:53 - 00:58Everyone leave the room except for Coughlan, Hill and Tayyebi.
01:13 - 01:15A year ago the whole Scheme was going to be closed!
01:15 - 01:17I thought I'd never have to talk to a regulator again!
01:18 - 01:23I was going to be even richer than I am now!
01:25 - 01:28Think about the Defined Contribution management fees!
01:29 - 01:31Marsh was just a random branch rep!
01:31 - 01:34But then that FUCKING STRIKE happened!
01:34 - 01:37All those academics...suddenly getting militant?
01:37 - 01:40What the FUCK just happened?
01:40 - 01:42Mr Galvin, nobody could have foreseen it.
01:42 - 01:46That's what employers are supposed to do!
01:46 - 01:48But they used to suck at industrial action!
01:48 - 01:52WELL NOT ANYMORE
01:53 - 01:54AND NOW WE'RE FACING LEGAL ACTION
01:56 - 01:57Of course it would have been fine
01:57 - 02:00if they'd accepted the 12 March deal.
02:00 - 02:03Cut benefits bit by bit, bleed them slowly.
02:04 - 02:08UCU management were fine with that.
02:08 - 02:13But the fucking BRANCHES MOBILISED AGAINST IT
02:14 - 02:16And then we got the JEP.
02:17 - 02:21We thought it would be a bunch of ideologues like John Ralfe
02:27 - 02:29But they actually considered the specifics
02:30 - 02:34of an open, multi-employer scheme
02:34 - 02:36with no shareholders
02:41 - 02:42And shat all over our valuation
02:43 - 02:47Especially when it came to Test 1
02:48 - 02:53And all the while, Marsh was getting elected
02:54 - 02:56to the JNC, so we had no choice but to finally
02:56 - 02:59give him the real asset projections.
03:00 - 03:02All we can do now is release a bullshit statement
03:04 - 03:07It's ok...he'll just fail upwards into another finance job
03:14 - 03:16What have we got left to say?
03:19 - 03:23Claim we still need massive de-risking
03:25 - 03:26and contribution hikes anyway?
03:31 - 03:33People will see through us instantly.
03:40 - 03:46UCU Twitter will be all over it.
03:46 - 03:49And that's BEFORE Josephine Cumbo gets involved.
03:53 - 03:56Let's hope she doesn't publish this in the FT.
