- Motion text
Congress welcomes the launch of the Peoples' Charter by a broad coalition of trade unions and progressive organisations and supports its policies for:
a fair economy for a fairer Britain
more and better jobs
decent homes for all
protecting and improving public services
social justice
a secure and sustainable future
We believe that a mass popular campaign for the People's Charter can help to bring about a change of direction in government policy, away from the interests of big business and towards the interests of working people.
We therefore urge UCU organisations and members to collect signatures for the People's Charter petition and help organise activities to promote it. We also instruct the National Executive Committee to affiliate to the campaign and provide assistance as appropriate.
