Motion

Motion text: Conference notes:
1. The increase in workload, casualisation, managerialism and cut in wages in real terms across the sector.
2. This year’s campaign over pay and workload.
3. All those branches that took strike action in defence of pay and conditions.
4. The real gains that those branches achieved.
Conference believes that:
a. The ‘professional respect’ campaign over pay and workload is an important step in the right direction.
b. Strike action and sometimes the threat of strike action delivers real gains for our members.
c. The most effective way in winning better pay and conditions is through collective action.
d. To level up we need to be able to launch national action involving all branches.
Conference resolves:
i. To organise a one-day organising conference on a Saturday for all branches entitled, ‘Building effective campaigning branches’.
ii. Invite those within the sector who have had success at winning to share their experiences.
