DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BLACK WORKERS

Back to all Motions

Conference
2011 National Black Members' Conference
Date
5 August 2010
Decision
Carried as Amended

Conference calls on the National Executive Council to conduct a report, on impact and scale of discrimination within the public services. This we hope will ensure that we can improve the levels of equality, opportunities and career progression for Black Workers.

We call on the National Black Members Committee (NBMC) to:

1.Work with the National Executive Council to raise the issue with employers to undertake Race Equality Audits to indicate recruitment/grade of Black Workers.

2.Work with UNISON Legal Services and providers of Legal Services to keep a check on the number of race cases being lodged in this current year and next year.

3.Ascertain a comparative of the nature of cases in these two years (2010 and 2011) and the last (2008 and 2009) two years.

4.Hold a workshop or invite a guest speaker to next year’s National Black Members Conference 2012 to speak on the findings from this research and the implications for race cases in UNISON.
