Pay Campaign, lack of action

Back to all Motions

Conference
2015 Special Local Government Conference
Date
4 February 2015
Decision
Carried

This Special Conference notes the lack of national leadership by our union in our recent pay dispute. In particular we note the lack of action following the July 10th strike. This strike day should have been followed by an intensive well financed national campaign to rouse our members to take further action. Instead month followed month with postponed strike days and little national material or direction. Active members were left to fight alone. We resolve that future pay campaigns require a well-planned, intensive, well financed and nationally led campaign to ensure success.
