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.
