News from the NEC
At each Scottish Council, NEC member Jane Carolan provides
a written briefing on what the National Executive is up to.
Last month, the major reports were:
Recruitment: Research shows the TV advert was a success
and recruitment in October/ November was the highest for three
years.
Pensions: UNISON involved in Parliamentary lobby,
government meetings, TUC forum with other unions, discussion
with trade union group of MPs and a push for an Early Day
Motion. Jane also briefed on the national campaign materials.
Campaigning: Reports on political fund, tackling the
BNP and international issues. The NEC also agreed a package
to maximise participation in union elections.
Repairs to Headquarters: Because of the high cost
of repairs to an out of date building, professional advice
is being sought on a new build across the road from the existing
HQ in Mabledon Place London.
