- Motion text
Congress deplores attempts to undermine trade union branches, including by targeting reps for disciplinary processes and redundancy. Time and again, employers have failed to address the legitimate concerns of black staff and students, including harassment at work, barriers to progression, eurocentric curricula and job insecurity.
Yet recently we have seen attempts by employers to misuse the rhetoric of equality to undermine trade union work and to victimise our reps.
In response, this meeting agrees to:
1. Develop additional resources to counter union-busting tactics, including building community alliances for accountability and justice;
2. Collate union-busting and ‘fake’ equality initiatives by employers and publicise to the wider community;
3. Promote a social media campaign to explain the impact of union-busting on equality goals.
