- Conference
- 2024 National Delegate Conference
- Date
- 26 February 2024
- Decision
- Carried
Police and Justice staff are well established members of our union and have been for decades. Police and Justice members work in very difficult circumstances both protecting the public and enforcing the law. The needs of these members are no different to that of other service groups. These members support our union and act with dignity and respect.
At previous Conferences there have been offensive and ill-informed comments that have caused offense to Police and Justice members present. These remarks have often gone unchecked, leaving Police and Justice delegates feeling deflated and isolated.
All members of UNISON should be treated with dignity and respect in line with the rules of our union. Conference therefore calls on the National Executive Council to maintain proceedings in the spirit of the aims, objectives and rules of our union and to challenge inappropriate comments when they occur.
