Congress Final Agenda 2018 Congress Final Agenda 2018 Final Agenda for GMB Congress 2018 3rd to 6th June 2018 Brighton FINAL AGENDA GMB CONGRESS 2018 GMB SECTION CONFERENCES 2018 BRIGHTON SUNDAY 3 JUNE – WEDNESDAY 6 JUNE 1974 CONGRESS, BLACKPOOL MOTION 257 PRE-CONGRESS DELEGATE MEETINGS Congress agrees that in order to widen the area of debate, and to achieve a more democratic expression of Congress delegates, Pre-Congress meetings should determine their voting intentions, with regard to resolutions from within their own Region, and matters reflecting a point of principle. But should not determine an intractable attitude to resolutions from other Regions until the conclusion of the general debate. PERIVALE BRANCH (London Region) GMB ZERO TOLERANCE STATEMENT In today’s modern society all form of discrimination –including intimidation and behaviour patterns, words and or actions that harm or undermine a person’s well-being or career is unacceptable. GMB will not tolerate any form of discrimination and will have no place in its organisation for those who would seek to discriminate. GMB also hold as core principles the right to equality, dignity, and fairness in industry and society as contained within the Rule book ‘Our Purpose’ states: ‘We will aim to end exploitation, discrimination and injustice.’ GMB policies also state that our union will not tolerate any gestures, verbal or written or electronic communication or physical act that can reasonably be perceived as being discriminatory Any persons within GMB who are subjected to such unwanted behaviour cannot function properly and are impeded from giving our membership the high quality of service that they deserve. Harassment and discrimination, even in their most subtle forms, directly conflicts with the law and GMB policy and will not be tolerated at any level throughout the union. No employee or member of the GMB at any level should be fearful of reporting acts of discrimination. GMB will treat all complaints of discriminatory behaviour seriously and will independently investigate them promptly, efficiently and in confidence. GMB is furthermore committed to promoting respect and non- discrimination through on-going training, education and awareness raising programmes at all levels of the union lay and employee structures. This statement applies to; GMB members GMB post holders GMB employees - direct or indirect workers performing functions in relation to GMB Adopted by GMB Congress 2014 as part of the GMB Women’s Project CEC Special Report CONGRESS FINAL AGENDA INDEX REPRESENTATION STATEMENTS 2 GUIDELINES FOR CONGRESS BUSINESS 16 STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE REPORT NO 1 21 INDEX OF MOTIONS 25 UNION ORGANISATION 34 CONGRESS 34 GENERAL 37 RECRUITMENT & ORGANISATION 39 REPRESENTATION & ACCOUNTABILITY 41 FINANCES & CONTRIBUTIONS 42 UNION BENEFITS & SERVICES 45 EDUCATION & TRAINING 47 EQUALITY & INCLUSION 49 EMPLOYMENT POLICY 55 HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT 55 PENSIONS & RETIREMENT 60 RIGHTS AT WORK 62 INDUSTRIAL & ECONOMIC POLICY 67 GENERAL 67 TAXATION 70 PUBLIC OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL 73 POLITICAL 78 GENERAL 78 BREXIT 81 THE LABOUR PARTY 84 LABOUR PARTY CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES 86 DEMOCRACY & CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS 87 IMMIGRATION & MIGRATION 88 RACISM & FASCISM 91 SOCIAL POLICY 94 GENERAL 94 JUSTICE 96 HARASSMENT & ABUSE 99 NHS & HEALTH ISSUES 103 SOCIAL CARE 105 YOUNG PEOPLE 106 EDUCATION & TRAINING 107 THE ENERGY & UTILITIES MARKET 110 HOUSING 112 TRANSPORT 114 WELFARE RIGHTS & SERVICES 117 INTERNATIONAL 120 GMB NATIONAL EQUALITIES CONFERENCE MOTION 120 COMPOSITE MOTIONS 122 CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL RULE AMENDMENTS 143 EXISTING POLICY MOTIONS 144 COMMERCIAL SERVICES SECTION CONFERENCE 149 MANUFACTURING / FINE MANUFACTURING SECTION CONFERENCE 158 PUBLIC SERVICES SECTION CONFERENCE 165 REPRESENTATION STATEMENTS 2 CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND NATIONAL OFFICE GENERAL SECRETARY AND NATIONAL SECRETARIES GENERAL MEMBER TREASURER AUDITORS AZAM, REHANA ROACHE, TIM BOWDEN, JUSTIN SWAINSON, JOHN BRIMBLE, JUDE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL LAY MEMBERS (49) ABUBAKIR, KATHY GILLIGAN, DEAN MINNERY, JUNE Public Services Public Services Public Services BATSON, JUDITH GREGG, MARGARET MODLOCK, BILL Commercial Services Commercial Services Public Services BEARCROFT MBE, SHEILA GUNTER, COLIN MURPHY, CATHY Manufacturing Manufacturing Commercial Services BLACKMAN, LIZ HOPE, DAVID NEWMAN, ANDY Public Services Public Service Commercial Services BUCHANAN, KEVIN HUGHES, MARGARET PLANT, BARBARA Commercial Services Commercial Services Public Services CLARKE, MARGARET HUSBANDS, MICHAEL RICHARDSON, GORDON Commercial Services Commercial Service Manufacturing CLARKE, RICHARD HUTCHINSON, MARY RIDDELL, PHYLLIS Public Services Manufacturing Manufacturing CLARKE, JIM IRVING, ANDY ROBINSON, PENNY Public Services Manufacturing Public Services CLEMENTS, DAVE JACKSON, MARTIN SAGE, MALCOLM Commercial Services Public Services Commercial Services COLLINSON, NEIL JONES, KEVIN SLATER, KATHLEEN Public Services Public Services Commercial Services DALEY, ELAINE KANE, PETER SMART, VIV Commercial Services Commercial Services Public Services DANIELS, KEN KERR, COLIN STRIBLEY, JAMES Public Services Commercial Services Commercial Services DEAN, ANNE MARNELL, EDDIE SUTTON, CATHERINE Public Services Manufacturing Commercial Services DOWSON, RAYMOND MCDONNELL, JOHN SYKES, MARK Manufacturing Manufacturing Public Services FARR, BRIAN MCGIVERN, ANDY WELHAM, ROBERT Manufacturing Manufacturing Manufacturing GAGLANI, SHAILESH MEYRICK, PETER WHEATLEY, PAUL Manufacturing Fine Manufacturing Manufacturing GIBBS, GORDON Public Services REPRESENTATION STATEMENTS 3 CEC OBSERVERS DAWSON, CRAIG LEWTHWAITE, CARL IONS, BECCIE HUSON, LYNNE NATIONAL OFFICE ANDREW, NELL JENKINS, ROGER PARKER-DEAN, JON BARNES, ANNA JOHNSON, LISA PERRIN.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
