Meeting CANCELLED: solidarity with post strikes

Venue: Exmouth Arms, Star Cross St, Euston

The organisers write ...

As part of the London Shop Stewards Network is holding this meeting as part of its program aimed at supporting London CWU postal workers.

At the meeting we will be proposing that in light of the attacks on the CWU postal workers it is necessary to push for our individual unions to coordinate industrial action in existing/coming disputes with CWU strike dates.

Also, that we start building for “supportive actions” if called for by the CWU postal workers.

Resolution: Service Control Apprentices

Submitted by Admin on 2 November, 2009 - 14:21

This resolution, submitted by Neasden branch and seconded by Hammersmith & City branch, was passed unanimously at the November 2009 meeting of the Regional Council.

This Branch condemns the callous attitude shown by Management, particularly HR, towards apprentices and ex-apprentices and other groups of members in Service Control. The Management aim is to redeploy these members despite being promised jobs in Service Control.

SEPTEMBER’S RESOLUTIONS

National Young Members Advisory Committee – Formation as per Rule Book

The General Secretary refused to accept this resolution for the agenda of the Council of Executives, as it attempted to “instruct” them to ensure that the union’s rules are carried out and a Young Members’ Advisory Committee properly established. Recommendation: we resubmit this resolution with the phrase “This branch instructs” replaced by “This Regional Council requests”.
