PERIVALE BRANCH London Region 2 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 3 4 CONGRESS FINAL AGENDA Perivale Motion 2 GMB Zero Tolerance Statement 3 Representation Statements 7 Guidelines for Congress Business 19 Standing Orders Committee Report No.1 24 Congress Index of Motions 27 General Motions Union Organisation : General 32 Union Organisation : Recruitment & Organisation 36 Union Organisation : Representation & Accountability 37 Union Organisation : Finances & Contributions 38 Union Organisation : Education & Training 40 Union Organisation : Equality & Inclusion 43 Employment Policy : Health, Safety & Environment 49 Employment Policy : Pensions & Retirement 50 Employment Policy : Rights at Work 51 Industrial & Economic Policy : Economy 57 Industrial & Economic Policy : Social Justice 59 Industrial & Economic Policy : Taxation & General 59 Industrial & Economic Policy : Public Ownership and Control 60 Industrial & Economic Policy : Trident 61 Political : General 63 Political : The Labour Party 64 Political : Democracy & Constitutional Reform 65 Political : Honours 68 Political : Immigration & Migration 69 Political : Racism & Fascism 69 Political : European Union 70 Social Policy : General 73 Social Policy : Justice 78 Social Policy : NHS, Health & Social Care 79 Social Policy : Education & Training 81 Social Policy : The Energy Market 82 Social Policy : Housing 83 Social Policy : Transport 86 Social Policy : Welfare Rights & Services 88 International 90 GMB National Equalities Conference Motion 92 Composite Motions 93 Central Executive Council Rule Amendments 106 Existing Policy Motions 109 5 CONGRESS GUIDE General Information 117 Congress Delegates Gifts 117 Tellers: Regional Cover 117 Congress Seating Plan 117 Obituary List 118 Fire/Safety Instructions 119 Fringe Events 120 Exhibition Plan 128 List of Exhibitors 129 SECTION CONFERENCES COMMERCIAL SERVICES SECTION 157 MANUFACTURING/ FINE MANUFACTURING SECTION 173 PUBLIC SERVICES SECTION 195 6 CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND NATIONAL OFFICE GENERAL SECRETARY AND TREASURER ROACHE, TIM NATIONAL SECRETARIES NATIONAL OFFICERS NATIONAL ORGANISING OFFICER AZAM, REHANA CHAMBERS, AVRIL SMITH, MARTIN BOWDEN, JUSTIN FEGAN, STUART BRIMBLE, JUDE HOLDER, SHARON NATIONAL ASDA CO-ORDINATOR JENKINS, ROGER DONALDSON, HARRY HULSE, DAVE RIX.

By John Hanamy This thesis looks at the election that terminated the first government of the Irish Free State, and effectively the career of the party that formed that government. An analysis of the policies of Cumann na nGaedheal in 1932 and a comparison of those policies with those of the main opposition party Fianna Fáil will determine why the party lost power. An examination of the support base of the party and Cumann na nGaedheal’s loyalty to its supporters will demonstrate that the government party had little choice in the policies it offered to the voters in the election. The methodology chosen to carry out this analysis is a series of research issues relevant to the period under examination.

  • Rationing in Emergency Ireland, 1939-48
    Rationing in Emergency Ireland, 1939-48 by Ciarán Bryan Thesis for the degree of PhD in History Department of History National University of Ireland Maynooth HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: Professor Marian Lyons Supervisor of Research: Dr Jacinta Prunty September 2014 Contents Acknowledgements ii Abbreviations iv List of figures vi List of tables ix Introduction 1 Chapter I The practical, political, economic, and legislative 22 underpinnings of rationing in Ireland Chapter II Shortages and rationing in Ireland, 1939-45 62 Chapter III State and voluntary welfare mechanisms, 1939-45 129 Chapter IV The Catholic Social Service Conference, 1941-48 187 Chapter V Nutritional science and its social application, 1912-48 230 Chapter VI The Long Emergency, 1945-48 281 Conclusion 323 Bibliography 331 Acknowledgements From start to finish, my supervisor Dr Jacinta Prunty, provided great encouragement, wise counsel and invaluable support that helped me bring this thesis to fruition. I want to record my heartfelt thanks for her unfailing attention, patience and generosity. Our meetings always provided me with plenty of food for thought and thanks to Jacinta’s kindness I rarely left our meetings on an empty stomach. This I think is something of an irony considering the nature of the topic, but it was always a welcome boost! On a more serious note I want to record that as my supervisor Jacinta brought great intellectual rigour tempered with the human qualities of generosity and kindness. Special thanks must also go to Professor R.V. Comerford who encouraged me down this path and to Professor Marian Lyons, Professor Jackie Hill, Professor Raymond Gillespie for their invaluable suggestions and clarity of thought always willingly provided when sought.

  • Belfast 4-6 July 2017
    Report of Proceedings of Biennial Delegate Conference 2017 Belfast 4-6 July 2017 1 Tuesday 4 July 2017 Morning Session Kevin Callinan, Vice-President A chairde, cuir fáilte roimh Uachtaráin na hEireann, Michael O’Higin, ladies and gentlemen please welcome the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins. Brian Campfield, President Okay Conference, thank you very much and thank you for being patient. It’s now my pleasure to introduce and call upon Councillor Nuala McAllister the Lord Mayor of Belfast to give a short welcome to delegates. Nuala McAllister, Councillor Good morning delegates and I welcome you all too sunny Belfast this morning. President Higgins, President of ICTU Brian Campfield, ladies and gentlemen I am delighted to welcome the Irish Congress of Trade Unions Conference to the city of Belfast. It is also a great privilege and honour to extend a very special welcome on behalf of the citizens of Belfast to the President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins. President Higgins it is notable on your first official visit to Belfast in 2012 you gave an address to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions Women’s conference, and so it is a pleasure to welcome you back here today to speak to us all here this morning. Belfast has a very proud trade union history and we actually have two stained glass windows in City Hall to commemorate that heritage. The first window is of James Larkin, a giant in the Irish Labour Movement and the founding father of the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union.
