It deals with motions and rule amendments from GMB Branches, Regional Committees and the Central Executive Council (CEC). In addition, other issues such as CEC special reports, CEC Statements and Financial Reports are debated and voted on. Once these have been endorsed, they become GMB Policy for the union as a whole. Following the endorsement of the CEC Special Report ‘Framework for the Future of the GMB: Moving Forward’ at Congress 2007, it was agreed that Congress will not debate motions which are determined to be existing union policy. At its meetings prior to Congress, the CEC identifies those Congress motions which are in line with existing GMB policy. These recommendations are reported to Congress in SOC Report No 1 at the start of Congress. Delegates will be asked to endorse these motions and if agreed, the motions will not be debated. However following Congress progress on these motions will continue to be reported. The following guide is an indication of GMB policy but is not a definitive list.

Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020.

  • Workplace Mediation and Trade Unions: Friends Or Foes?
    Workplace Mediation and Trade Unions: Friends or Foes? A study of UK trade unions’ attitudes and experiences. by Virginia Elizabeth Branney Volume 1 of 2 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire January 2020 STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) School Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise 1. Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered for the research degree, I was with the University’s specific permission, an enrolled student for the following award: Certificate in Teaching Toolkit 2. Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. 3. Use of a Proof-reader No proof-reading service was used in the compilation of this thesis. 4. Signature of Candidate 5. Print name: Virginia Branney ABSTRACT Workplace mediation is a facilitative process for dealing with conflict between individuals in the workplace whereby a third party (the mediator), assists them to reach a mutually agreed outcome. Existing literature on the contemporary management of individual conflict in UK organisations includes studies of unionised employers’ use of workplace mediation. What distinguishes this study is its focus on trade union attitudes towards, and experiences of, workplace mediation, and its theoretically based approach. The findings derive mainly from exploratory multiple case studies of the involvement of UNISON and Communication Workers Union (CWU) representatives with mediation in the workplace.

  • Representativeness of the European Social Partner Organisations: Education
    Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Education Objectives of study Economic background National level of interest representation European level of interest representation Commentary References Annex: List of abbreviations This report is available in electronic format only. Wyattville Road, Loughlinstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. - Tel: (+353 1) 204 31 00 - Fax: 282 42 09 / 282 64 56 e-mail: [email protected] - website: www.eurofound.europa.eu This study sets out to provide the necessary information for establishing and assisting sectoral social dialogue in the education sector. The report has three main parts: a summary of the sector’s economic background; an analysis of the social partner organisations in all EU Member States, with special emphasis on their membership, their role in collective bargaining/employment regulation and public policy, and their national and European affiliations; and an analysis of the relevant European organisations, in particular their membership composition and their capacity to negotiate. The aim of the EIRO series of representativeness studies is to identify the relevant national and supranational social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in selected sectors. The impetus for these studies arises from the goal of the European Commission to recognise the representative social partner organisations to be consulted under the EC Treaty provisions. Hence, this study is designed to provide the basic information required to establish and evaluate sectoral social dialogue. Objectives of study The aim of this representativeness study is to identify the relevant national and supranational associational actors – that is the trade unions and employer associations – in the field of industrial relations in the education sector, and to show how these actors relate to the sector’s European interest associations of labour and business.
