Wenesday 22 June No 1
Motion 31 - Pension Fund Investments and Trade Union
Organisation
Now, this is important, not least because it is a
Scotland motion. It is well-timed after the presentation on the
American trade union experience from Melissa Moye. The motion seeks
greater worker participation and control of pension funds if the
issues in the following motions are to be fully pursued. Amendments
from Glasgow Local Government and others will seek regular up-dates
on the Pensions Review in case further action is required of the
membership.
21 - Pension campaign
This motion, with its ten amendments, forms the main
pensions debate. A close eye is needed on all the consequences outlined
in yesterday's Standing Orders Committee Report. The important issue
is that Amendment 21.1 updates the motion and reflects the reality
of the current position. Again the likely stramash is going to be
about what Sefton's Paul Summers yesterday called the need to use
our heads as well as our hearts to defend members. If 21.1 is carried,
21.2 and 21.5 will fall and that will largely clarify the debate.
Support 21 and 21.1
Comp B Employment Rights
Sorry for running this again, but we really did believe
we would get to it yesterday. Motions 82 and 83 have been brought
together in this composite which extends the demands on employment
rights which have not progressed in the second New Labour term of
office and raises the profile of work-life balance. Look out for
the usual star performance from Glasgow's Sam McCartney.
