- Decision
- Carried
This conference believes that the level of career progression of Black workers is very low in most work places and is imperative that this is addressed. The Equality Act 2010 states that we should have equal opportunities for all.
Conference believes that all Black workers should be supported, enabled and valued to progress into senior positions, to reflect the workforce, communities and society. If we are to eliminate marginalisation in our workforce, we need to remove the barriers that Black workers encounter in accessing opportunities for career progression. Addressing the lack of black representation in the workforce is an important step in dismantling those barriers.
Conference therefore calls on The National Black Members’ Committee to:
Work with the National Executive Council and appropriate committees to campaign to increase the opportunities for Black career progression in workplaces.
