Scottish Black Members Policy Weekend
Pav Akhtar (National Equalities Officer) talked about
the Unison’s Project" Challenging racism in
the workplace", at the Scottish Black Members
committee’s policy weekend, which took place at Apex
Hotel Dundee, this year.
At the weekend, Pav Akhtar provided training on mainstreaming
of Equality. Sofi Taylor provided valuable inputs
to build awareness of SBMC that what needs doing in
the branches to use Equality as bargaining agenda.
Pav Akhtar provided in-depth information regarding
the priorities and purpose of the policy weekend.
SBMC discussed, amended and agreed on the SBMC draft
action plan for 2007.
One of the highlights of the policy weekend was SBMC
networking session, which commenced after dinner.
The session was a hit as members were able to view,
enjoy and reflect on DVD / presentations of NBM Conference
2007, which include Dave Prentis’s speech, Ismail
Donmez moving Scottish motions at the National Black
Members Conference, and memento of moments to remember,
from the conference.
Also Trade Union images of Scottish and National
Black members, who attended the National Delegates
Conference 2006, provided an opportunity for SBMC
members to know who is who at National and Scottish
levels. The members engaged themselves informally
into discussion regarding black issues to build their
learning. SBMC thanked Eileen Dinning Scottish Equalities
officer, for her support to organise the networking
session. The session closed before the mid night.
