SUMMARY:Organise 24 - Derby
DESCRIPTION:Join trade union organisers and reps from across the region as we discuss how we think strategically to build union membership and density. \nHear from national trade union speakers about the challenge facing the movement as well as some of the tools available to support union organising. \nThe conference will also hear from Labour about the aspects of their New Deal that will help remove some of the existing barriers we face in organising. \nThe conference will hold a series of workshops looking at \n* Private sector: How do we target sectors and resources to win.\nThis workshop will hear from both GMB Coventry Amazon reps about their inspirational organising campaign to secure a union at Amazon and Unite organisers and reps about their long and ultimately successful battel for recognition at DHL East Midlands Airport\n* Public Sector: How do we get back above 50% density\nThis workshop will hear from Unison organisers and reps about how they’ve built union membership and activism amongst outsourced NHS workers in response to a refusal to honour the national pay award in full. \n* Diversifying our reps base\nThis workshop will explore how we support and encourage black members to take on leadership roles within our unions to ensure that all our structures look and reflect our true membership. The discussion will be led by the TUC’s Building BAME Networks project officer\, Rebecca Sixsmith-Hughes\, and participants from current Black Activist programmes. \nThe day will conclude with a plenary session and a presentation on how the TUC’s Solidarity Hub can support unions in their organising activity.

SUMMARY:Professor Rob Ford presents the trade union case for electoral reform
DESCRIPTION:Do you feel fully informed on the debate around voting reform? Major unions like Unite and Unison have passed motions in support of reform in recent years\, as has Labour party conference – but what would it mean for your rights in the workplace? \nWe want you to have the facts to hand when the debate arises. So\, we’ve organised a free online talk with Rob Ford\, a Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester. Rob is a leading expert on public opinion\, elections and the radical right. \nHistory shows that even when the Labour Party wins an overall majority\, any improvements in trade union rights are quickly reversed by subsequent Tory governments. \nJoin us to hear how proportional representation can help ensure trade unions and working people keep a seat at the table and hold on to any new rights that they win from a Labour government. \nWe hope you can join us \nReserve your free ticket
