WELCOME TO NEW DIRECTIONS Welcome to our latest edition of New Directions. It has been a busy few months since the last edition was produced, including the unveiling of the Ministry of Justice’s Education and Employment Strategy, the launch of Novus Works and our first Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. The best place to start, however, is the activity around National Employability Day. The annual event, led by ERSA, gave us the opportunity to celebrate what our teams do around the country to support our learners to gain employment on release. Coming hot on the heels of the new Education and Employment Strategy, the day was a chance to start discussions with like-minded he Education and Employment There is very little to separate these organisations and to look in more detail at what we can do.

British MPs have also received abuse and hate on social media during this time. To understand and contextualise the level of abuse MPs receive, we consider how ministers use social media to communicate about the pandemic, and the citizen engagement that this generates. The focus of the paper is on a large-scale, mixed-methods study of abusive and antagonistic responses to UK politicians on Twitter, during the pandemic from early February to late May 2020. We fnd that pressing subjects such as fnancial concerns attract high levels of engagement, but not necessarily abusive dialogue. Rather, criticising authorities appears to attract higher levels of abuse during this period of the pandemic. In addi- tion, communicating about subjects like racism and inequality may result in accusa- tions of virtue signalling or pandering by some users. This work contributes to the wider understanding of abusive language online, in particular that which is directed at public ofcials.

  • GMB Young Members CEC Report
    GMB Young Members CEC Report The last few months have been a busy on for the GMB Young Members Network, we have held our annual young members political school, attended the Durham Miners’ Gala and seen a continuation of our mental health campaign. Durham Miners’ Gala: GMB Young Members took part in our third annual political school on the three days in the run up to the Miner’s Gala. The course was divided into an intermediate and advanced course for those who had never attended the school before hand. In the advanced course a workshop on marketing, campaigning and messaging took place. Young members then created a campaign around the hash tag #timstardis. The campaign put into action a whole range of skills from SWOT analysis to planning different campaign techniques and identifying potential allies. In the evening before the Gala we had talks from Ian Lavery the Member of Parliament for Wansbeck and Shadow Trade Union Minister and Richard Burgon the Shadow Secretary of State for Justice. The march itself was well attended by the GMB despite the rain and in the evening GMB Young Members attended the Durham Local Government Branch Dinner in what is steadily becoming a yearly tradition. The National Living Wage: GMB Young Members are calling for the government to end the unfair practice of excluding young workers under the age of 25 from receiving the National Living Wage. Ross Holden, Young Members Communication Officer has written: “The statistics show that those aged 18-21 can be paid 26% less for the same work as over 25s and those aged 21-24 nearly 7% less” With the blessing of the Network he has launched an online petition that as of writing has over 2000 signatures calling for age discrimination in rates of pay to be stopped.

  • Annual Report to Leeds NUT 2006
    Leeds NEU Annual Report to the AGM 4 March 2021 _______________________________________________________________________________ 1 CONTEXT: THE PANDEMIC The last AGM of the Leeds District and Branch took place on March 14th 2020. It is almost impossible to convey the circumstances of the ensuing 12 months except to say that this has been an academic and union year without precedent. The normal functioning of the district was suspended between March and the end of July. The national union ruled that the usual decision-making members’ meetings should no longer take place as we could only meet online. There was no further general members’ meeting (OGM) until October 1st. On the other hand, the number of online meetings, the attendance and the engagement of members all increased beyond any recent measure. This was reflected in significant increases in Leeds NEU membership and workplace rep numbers. We have good reason to believe that we will emerge from this crisis as a stronger and even more effective organisation. 2 LEEDS NEU DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC The union branch and district continued to function since March 23rd but work was completely dominated by the crisis. The office was closed with officers and office administrator working from home. Conference 2020 was cancelled. The work of the branch has focused mainly on Covid-19, at first the lockdown and then the partial reopening from June 1st and the wider reopening in September. The main issues have been: self-isolation, sickness and the treatment of pay and absence, shielding and the vulnerable, attendance at school and rotas, including holiday periods, distance learning, workload and reasonable expectation and supply teachers.
