SUMMARY:Safe Passage for Refugees: PCS TUC Fringe event
DESCRIPTION:PCS has been at the forefront of campaigning for a safe and legal means for refugees to claim asylum without resort to the dangerous Channel crossing in small boats and free from the exploitation by those that profit from it. \nLast year\, PCS in partnership with Care4Calais published our ‘Safe Passage for Refugees: humane alternative to the Rwanda policy’ paper\, which garnered support across the trade union movement and beyond. \nWith the government’s Illegal Migration Act receiving Royal Assent in July this year\, the context of our campaign is shifting and adapting.  This fringe meeting will address that and discuss how the movement can take forward the campaign for refugees’ rights. \nThe event will be chaired by PCS national president Fran Heathcote and speakers include: Mark Serwotka\, PCS general secretary; Clare Moseley\, founder of Care4Calais; Weyman Bennett\, Stand up to Racism.

SUMMARY:How proportional representation can unlock economic equality - TUC fringe
DESCRIPTION:TUC fringe with tapas\, wine\, beer and soft drinks. \n  \nEconomic equality cannot be achieved without political equality. To achieve that we need a fairer voting system so the voices of working people are heard clearly in Westminster at all times. \nSpeakers: \n\nJohn McDonnell MP\nDr. Justine Mercer\, UCU President\nMaria Iacovou\, Professor in Quantitative Sociology – University of Cambridge and LCER\nMark Serwotka\, General Secretary PCS\nRob Ford\, Professor of Political Science – University of Manchester\nChaired by: Lynn Henderson\, Chair\, Politics for the Many\n\n  \nDescription: \nA growing number of unions are now backing a proportional voting system (PR) because they can see the current system isn’t working for working people. \nPR is about ensuring that workers’ rights and pay improve over time. It’s about reversing the trend where FPTP over-represents governments hostile to working people and\, as a consequence\, sees their rights and conditions eroded over time. \nJoin us in a sociable environment to get your questions answered and hear about how PR can ensure trade unionists always have a seat at the table.
