LONDON UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS 1913-32 James Fowler The York Management School University of York [email protected] A rapid deterioration in British railways’ financial results around 1900 sparked an intense debate about how productivity might be improved. As a comparison it was noted that US railways were much more productive and employed far more detailed statistical accounting methods, though the connection between the two was disputed and the distinction between the managerial and regulatory role of US statistical collection was unexplored. Nevertheless, The Railway Companies (Accounts and Returns) Act was passed in 1911 and from 1913 a continuous, detailed and standardized set of data was produced by all rail companies including the London underground. However, this did not prevent their eventual amalgamation into the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 on grounds of efficiency. This article finds that despite the hopes of the protagonists, collecting more detailed statistics did not improve productivity and suggests that their primary use was in generating publicity to influence shareholders’, passengers’ and workers’ perceptions.

  • TUC London, East and South East
    TUC London, East and South East Annual report 2018 . About the regional TUC ‘TUC: London East and the South East’ is the largest of the TUC’s regions and geographically we cover three European parliamentary constituencies or what were the government office regions: London, the South East, and East of England. Perhaps as many as two million trade unionists live and work within the region. Our regional council is appointed annually by trade our union affiliates and by county associations of trades councils. It meets four times a year to discuss both how to achieve policy determined at the annual national Trades Union Congress, and to make policies on issues specific to, or affecting, our region. At the regional council’s annual general meeting it elects its officers, and an executive committee that meets ten times a year. The officers and executive committee members serve for a year. Affiliated trade unions and county associations of trades councils also nominate to our industrial and equality sub-groups. These advisory sub-groups use their expertise, workplace and life experience to inform the activities of the regional council. In order to assist in our work fostering and supporting trade unionism in our region outside of London we have created the East of England Trade Union Network, EETUN, and the South East Trade Union Network, SETUN, within the structures of the regional TUC. Regional staff administer the regional council, deliver services to affiliates, represent the TUC in relations with public bodies, campaign for Congress policies, and support the delivery of learning and education to workers in the region.

SQUATTING the real story is a unique and diverse account the real story of squatting.

  • 13651 20 Reproduced from Electronic Media, Promoted By
    13651_20 Reproduced from electronic media, promoted by Jennie Formby, General Secretary, the Labour Party, on behalf of the Labour Party, both at, Southside, 105 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6QT. I want to start by thanking you for taking the time to respond to this consultation. Coronavirus is the biggest crisis our country has faced in a generation. It is a health crisis, an economic crisis and – for many – a personal crisis. Our immediate attention must be on responding to the pandemic and ensuring the health and safety of people across the country. In this context, it is appropriate that our policy-making in response to coronavirus is swift and responsive to the circumstances. But this is also an important moment of change for our country. The decisions made over the next five to ten years will fundamentally alter people’s lives for generations to come. It is therefore right that we pause and consider the context and values of our policies, as we look to build our policy platform over the coming years ahead of the next General Election. The Labour Party is an incredible and powerful force for good. But we’ve just lost four elections in a row. It is essential that we use the next few years to reconnect across the country, to re-engage with our communities and voters, to establish a coalition across our towns and our cities, regions and nations, to speak for the whole of the country. Policy development is central to that aim. I want this consultation to engage all parts of our Party in a broad discussion about our beliefs and principles, and the issues we all connect on.

    ) [email protected] x +44 (0)330 822 0321 = www.antisemitism.uk Rebecca Hilsenrath Chief Executive Equality and Human Rights Commission Fleetbank House 2-6 Salisbury Square London EC4Y 8JX By post and e-mail 31st July 2018 Dear Ms Hilsenrath, We are writing to you regarding antisemitism in the Labour Party (“the Party”). The Party is established as an unincorporated association, governed by its rule book. It is therefore obliged by the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 (“the Act”) relating both to political parties and associations, as defined by section 107 of the Act. We wish to refer the Party to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (“the Commission”) on this basis that the Party has discriminated against Jewish members and/or associates contrary to sections 101(2)(d) and/or 101(3)(d) of the Act, and victimised members and/or associates who have spoken out against antisemitism, contrary to sections 101(6)(d) and/or 101(7)(d) of the Act. DISCRIMINATION The Party has become an association in which Jewish members and/or associates feel discriminated against to the extent that they feel compelled to leave it in significant numbers, both because the Party has discriminated against Jews by failing to act against antisemitic members and/or associates, and because the Party has failed to address complaints of antisemitism in a fair and efficient manner. We charge that the Party has, through years of deliberate or reckless dereliction of its duty to enforce its own rules, created an atmosphere in which Jewish members and/or associates are discriminated against.
