  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Equalities and HR Commission 2018 1 Unsigned
    ) [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.

THE POLICY PROGRAMME THAT FOLLOWS OFFERS THE RADICAL SOLUTIONS WE NEED TO TURN THAT SITUATION AROUND. Under this Tory-led Government the vast majority of working people have been left worse off, while the richest few have pocketed rich rewards. It beggars belief that in Britain in the twenty first century thousands of people are having to turn to food banks to feed their families, but are labelled shirkers by this Government. Our economic situation means that in As Chair of the NPF and the NEC I’ve also government there won’t be much money wanted to reaffirm the importance of equality around.

  • Chavs: the Demonization of the Working Class
    Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class Chavs, written more than five years ago, is a polemic about a society that was unnecessarily unjust, cruel, divided; since its original publication in 2011 Britain has only become more unjust, cruel and divided. The book appeared in print less than twelve months after the Conservatives returned to Downing Street, after thirteen years in the political wilderness, and it had three central purposes: to refute the myth that Britain is a classless society, when in fact huge amounts of wealth and power are concentrated in very few hands; to tackle the poisonous mantra that social problems like poverty are actually individual failings; and to encourage the idea that social progress comes about by people with similar economic interests organizing together to change society. In the 1980s, Thatcherism remodelled British society. Since 2010, the Tory government has busined itself with an ambitious project for rolling back the state in an effort to complete Thatcher’s work. On the one hand, for the sorts of people who tend to fund the Conservative Party – not least those in the financial sector that plunged Britain into an economic mire – the last few years have been a boomtime. During one of the great economic truaumas of modern British history, the fortunes of the wealthiest 1000 britons more than doubled. On the other, the plight of working people stands in stark contrast. Workers suffered the longest fall in pay packets since the 1870s. And then there was the hunger. Britain is one of the richest societies ever to exist and yet hundreds of thousands of Britons depend on food banks for their meals.

The thesis explores the relationship between the Australian folk revival and Australian Trade Unions. It provides a detailed study of events in the post war history of the union movement and the folk revival as evidence of a long relationship between them. Through a series of interviews with songwriters, and a discussion of folk revival magazines and folk song books, the thesis investigates the details of the connections between the two movements, and the social and political effects of these movements on changes that have occurred in Australia since the end of World War 2.
