Conference welcomes the re-launch in May 2023 of UNISON’s Migrant Workers Network.
Conference notes that this is a new, informal network of UNISON members with a first-generation immigrant background including overseas and migrant workers who have subsequently naturalised as British citizens who have Indefinite Leave to Remain.
Conference further notes that increasing numbers of migrant workers are joining UNISON as members across our housing associations, charities, and social care sectors.
Ensuring that our members are welcomed, supported and organised are key principles which underpin our over-arching organising approach along with providing space where members with shared experience can raise issues of mutual concern.
Conference calls on the Community Service Group Executive to:
a)Continue to promote the Migrant Workers Network through all appropriate media.
b) Work with regions and branches to promote and encourage the development of our network of Community Migrant Workers.
c) Work with regions and branches to signpost and encourage Community migrant workers to self-identify and participate in UNISON Self Organised, branch and regional structures.
