A special conference has been called to decide how best to go forward in organising support staff. Our overwhelming desire is to work collaboratively with NJC unions in a joint drive to organise the majority of support workers who are not in any union.
The conference will decide between two options:
- To withdraw from the 2017 TUC agreement that prevents us from ‘actively recruiting’; or
- To accept the TUC interpretation of our ability to organise in the sector.
The deadline for districts to add delegates is 12 January, but changes (and additions) can be made until 26 January.
