BLACK NEC SEATS SHOULD BE ELECTED BY BLACK MEMBERS

Back to all Motions

Conference
2010 National Black Members' Conference
Date
7 August 2009
Decision
Carried

This conference would like to raise the issue of the current process of electing Black NEC members to the reserved Black seats. Presently this process is open to the whole membership of our union.

We believe that any election to these seats should only be voted on by Black members as the seats are for Black members.

Therefore we instruct the NBMC to work with the NEC to change the current process of election to enable Black members to elect their representatives to these seats. We call upon the NBMC to take action to implement this before the next series of NEC elections.
