- Decision
- Carried
Conference notes with concern that in Rules G2.4.1 and Rule G4.1.1 Women’s officer is not listed as a general branch officer, meaning that some branches will not include this post in the list of positions that they seek to fill.
Given that the majority of UNISON members are women, conference believes that the role of women’s officer should be included in the rule book.
Conference requests that the National Women’s Committee works with Regional Women’s Committees to encourage regions and branches to submit and support the following rule changes to National Delegate conference 2019 to;-
• Amend rule G2.1.4 to insert Women’s officer after equality officer(s) , before welfare officer.
• Amend rule G4.1.1 to insert Women’s officer after equality co-ordinator(s) , before health and safety officer.
