On Monday 9th November I went to Dundee for the STUC Womens 82 conference. Pauline Rourke was chairing the conference on behalf of the women's committee and I am proud to say Pauline is a CWU Branch official. Cathy Newall, Joyce Stevenson, Helen Olgilvie, Ann Ferry, Liz Dunlope, Morag Rose and myself were all delegates on behalf of the CWU. Pauline gave her welcome speech and did a magnificent job of chairing the conference. Morag Rose moved the the motion on the Post Bank and there was unanimous support for our motion. Joyce Stevenson moved a motion on Performance Management she also spoke on flexible working and I got up and spoke on the equality bill pushing for our equality representatives to be afforded the same rights as Health and Safety representatives.
One of the most concerning pieces of information the conference was given was that children now wear bands on their wrist to indicate how sexually active they are and each colour they wear indicates at what stage they are active. Parents please be aware.
