  • National Policy Guide 2019
    National Policy Guide 2019 Incorporating the decisions of Congress 2018 KEY symbol signifies where a CEC Statement or CEC Special Report has been agreed by Congress. Please refer to those documents for more detail. (2016: C1) where references are given, the first part represents the Congress year and the latter the motion or composite (so this refers to Composite 1 from GMB Congress 2016) All Congress documents from 2005 onwards can be found on the GMB website at www.gmb.org.uk/congress Background GMB Annual Congress is the supreme policy making authority of GMB. 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.

  • The Industrial
    7222_IndustrialHub_A5_4.qxp_Layout 1 14/12/2015 11:29 Page 1 THE INDUSTRIAL HUB Supply Chain Connections Industrial Workplace Strategy HUB Activists International Partners Unite the union building workers’ power through the Industrial Hub Programme 7222_IndustrialHub_A5_4.qxp_Layout 1 14/12/2015 11:30 Page 2 INTRODUCTION – Steve Turner Assistant General Secretary Workers understand the importance of building a strong workplace organisation as a counter balance to employer power, what we don’t traditionally do is extend that organisation across our sectors to those workers directly aligned to our employer, either as contractors, suppliers or customers. The counter balance to corporate power in a globalised, just-in- time economy is to do exactly that, to bring our activists together to build an organisation within an ‘industrial hub’ that builds on our strengths and identifies opportunities to develop our organisation across employers in every sector of our economy. Unite is at the forefront of the Industrial Hubs programme, working with and taking the lead in the first global pilot projects with the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) and IndustriALL global union federations. It is a programme that can be adapted to meet the challenges in all sectors of our union, across our transport, manufacturing and services groups Mapping supply chains, identifying ‘economic employers’, developing real solidarity between sectors and unions both here in the UK and across Europe, understanding vulnerabilities that can be exploited and developing a training programme that builds confidence, skills and capacity amongst our activists to both defend and advance the interests of working people. This is a fantastic cutting edge programme that we encourage you all to engage with and take ownership of.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Unite the Union Coronavirus: Implications for Transport
    CIT0193 Written evidence submitted by Unite the Union Coronavirus: implications for transport This submission is made by Unite, the UK’s largest transport trade union and the UK’s largest and most diverse trade union with over one million members across all sectors of the economy including transport, manufacturing, financial services, food and agriculture, construction, energy and utilities, information technology, service industries, health, local government and the not for profit sector. Unite also organises in the community, enabling those who are not in employment to be part of our union. Unite is uniquely placed as the principal trade union across the full diversity of transport. We represent a quarter of a million workers in all areas of transport including buses, road haulage, logistics, civil aviation, rail, coach, taxi, tram, docks, ferries and waterways. We also represent the majority of union members in the transport vehicle building and automotive sectors and the aerospace aircraft sector. Unite’s response to the Transport Select Committee Inquiry is drawn from the recent months of intense experience in dealing with the impact of Covid19 on our members in transport : on their health and safety, their jobs, their pay and conditions, and their sector. This experience is unique, informed as it is from working across all modes of transport, with hundreds of thousands of workers and their representatives, with the diversity of employers, sector bodies and transport specialists, with Department for Transport and Treasury Officials, government Ministers, Shadow Ministers, Mayors, devolved governments and elected politicians at all levels. Please see also Unite’s Strategy for Transport “Transport Matters”.1 At the outset, we would make these 10 key points: 1.

  • Workforce Partnership Council (WPC) Joint Statement on Paid Leave for Staff Experiencing Domestic Abuse
    Workforce Partnership Council (WPC) Joint Statement on Paid Leave for Staff Experiencing Domestic Abuse The Workforce Partnership Council (WPC) is a tripartite social partnership structure of the trade unions, employers and Welsh Government covering the devolved public services in Wales and the forum for cross-public services workforce matters. The WPC is committed to promoting equality in the work place and recognises the profound impact domestic abuse can have on an individual. For this reason the WPC supports the provision of paid leave to members of staff across the devolved public services who are experiencing domestic abuse and are asking all devolved public service organisations to make an express commitment to provide paid leave for staff experiencing domestic abuse, where appropriate, in their special leave or domestic abuse policies. The Impact of Domestic Abuse and the Importance of Paid Leave The effect of domestic abuse is wide ranging. Members of staff may need time off work to access legal or financial advice, to arrange child care or alternative accommodation and to seek medical advice. For this reason the WPC believes it is important for devolved public service organisations in Wales to have policies to support staff experiencing domestic abuse and to make provision for paid leave where appropriate within these or special leave policies. The WPC believes that such policies provide survivors with peace of mind, support and gives them vital reassurance that they will not be financially penalised as they deal with the effects of domestic abuse. The WPC recognises that there are many organisations across the devolved public services in Wales which provide paid leave to help support members of staff experiencing domestic abuse and it wishes to acknowledge the good practice that exists.

  • 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.

  • Colfer Phd Final Submitted 04.12.18 Trade Union Influence Under
    This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics and International Studies. Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, December 2017 i Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other university or similar institution except as specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other university or similar institution. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit. i There's a simple doctrine: outside of a person's love, the most sacred thing that they can give is their labour. And somehow or another along the way, we tend to forget that. Labour is a very precious thing that you have. Anytime that you can combine labour with love, you've made a good merger. -James Carville ii Acknowledgements I want to thank the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the University of Cambridge Home and European Scholarship Scheme (CHESS), Pembroke College, the estate of the late Professor Monica Partridge, and the Cambridge Political Economy Society for their generous funding and support throughout my doctoral research. I also want to thank the European Trade Union Institute and the American College of Athens, especially Professor Eleni Patra, for supporting me during fieldwork in Brussels and Athens respectively.
