UCU: Jobs for all

Motion

Motion text: Congress notes:
1) We celebrate diversity in our colleges, our schools, and our communities
2) Teachers, private and public sector workers, unemployed and students are stronger when they are united
3) Workers are right to fights cuts
4) 'British Jobs for British Workers' is a nationalist slogan that divides workers and fuels racism. This deflects the real anger over unemployment and cuts away from the bosses, politicians and bankers
5) Billions of pounds of taxpayers money has disappeared to bail out the bankers. This money is for education and public services
6) Estimates suggest the crisis will leave 3 million unemployed
7) The gutter press attempts to divide employed workers against unemployed workers, private sector against public sector workers, and 'British Worker' against 'Foreign Worker'
Congress believes that an injury to one is an injury to all, and in jobs and education for all. We will not let race, nationality or status divide us.
Congress therefore resolves to:
a) Raise the slogans 'an injury to one is an injury to all', 'jobs for all' and 'education for all'
b) Resist division based on race, nationality or status.
