I went to an excellent Trade Union Conference for Palestine on Saturday just gone, representing the UNISON NEC. It was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and as I have been invovled in solidarity with Palestine for ten years now, I was proud to go as a delegate for my union.
We discussed a load of different ways to work together to strengthen what remais the major internaitonal issue of our day and shared a variety of experiences. I emphasised the need to make more prominent the PSC on our own union's websites and to vary our ways of reaching out to members, and not leaving this issue to the union tops - encouraging involvement of the grass roots - so the least I could do is practice what I preach...
Is your branch affiliated, are you a member? If not, why not?
