Resolution: Standing up to the Employers' Clampdown

This resolution, proposed by Stratford no.1 branch and seconded by TfL no.1 branch, was passed by the October meeting of the Regional Council ...

This Regional Council notes that our members continue to experience oppressive treatment at work, including: over-the-top disciplinary punishments, harsh attendance policies, heavy workloads, management pressure and bullying.

We believe that workers in other industries and public services are suffering similar treatment at the hands of their employers. Our reps and activists would benifit from linking up with reps and activists from other unions to share ideas, skills and experiences, in order that we may effectively stand up to the bosses' clampdown.

We therefore resolve to organise regular seminars, starting in the new year, about these issues, and to do so in conjunction with union bodies and trades councils in London.
