  • The Wired Fundraiser
    The Wired Fundraiser How technology is making fundraising “good to go” October 2007 Introduction On January 18, 2007, Robin Maxwell was out for a run when her feet suddenly felt completely numb. It was a strange and unnerving sensation, and she didn’t know what to make of it. She wondered if she’d pushed herself too hard. After all, she was a tri-athlete training for a marathon – and, as mother of two, she was also always busy chasing after her two young children. After her doctor conducted some tests, she soon learned there was a far more serious cause: she had multiple sclerosis (MS), the progressive neurological disease. “I felt this incredible darkness,” she says of her diagnosis. A few days later, a friend of hers was watching The View and saw Kevin Bacon talking about his new charitable effort, SixDegrees.org – a website where anyone could create a widget to fundraise online for their favorite cause. Knowing Robin had said she wanted to do something to help others with her diagnosis, the friend emailed Robin about the website and the matching grants Kevin was offering to top fundraisers’ causes. Robin went online to create a widget to fundraise for her local MS Society the same day. “I raised $800 the first day, and suddenly I realized this was something that could work. I had a reason to get up every day. People wanted to help me, and they wanted to help me get that grant. They wanted to keep me from facing the disability that I am facing,” she says.

  • Democracy in the Workplace - the Bullock Report Revisited
    Democracy in the workplace - The Bullock Report revisited A joint meeting of the H&P Trade Union Forum and the Centre for Contemporary British History at the CCBH summer conference on ‘Reassessing the Seventies’, 9th July 2010, Institute of Historical Research, Senate House, University of London. With Lord David Lea, former TUC Assistant General Secretary and member of the Bullock Inquiry 1975-77, in conversation with Peter Ackers, Professor of Industrial Relations and Labour History, Loughborough University and member of the H&P Trade Union Forum. David Lea described himself, with some humour at the apparent contradiction, as a ‘trade union intellectual’ and recalled the extraordinary background to the establishment of the Bullock Committee in 1975 as part of the ‘Social Contract’ between the government and the powerful trade union leaders of those days. [see endnote on the Social Contract] Just how radical this two year inquiry (1975-77) was, can be seen from its terms of reference, a copy of which was circulated at the meeting: Accepting the need for a radical extension of industrial democracy in the control of companies by means of representation on boards of directors, and accepting the essential role of trade union organizations in this process, to consider how such an extension can best be achieved, taking into account in particular the proposals of Trades Union Congress report on industrial democracy as well as experience in Britain, the EEC and other countries. Having regard to the interests of the national economy, employees, investors and consumers, to analyse the implications of such representation for the efficient management of companies and for company law.
