As soon as the October Equity Council Minutes are published we will be able to update the reasons for Equity's action at the TUC in this matter. Facts were put forward, as an opinion, of which we were not aware.
If memory serves us correctly, previously the Equity General Secretary has been elected in Group "C" to the General Council of the TUC (Trade Union Congress).
At this month's TUC out of 14 other unions, who put forward candidates, the Equity General Secretary came bottom of the poll.
If one considers that in the past few years Equity has adopted, in our opinion, a more old fashioned left-wing style in supporting right to work marches, altering its rules to include a "politically correct" equality rule, becoming focused on "organising" its members in preference to "servicing".....additionally sending representatives to assist trade unions in Ghana and Turkey...all when Equity is having to cut its costs because of financial considerations....OBVIOUSLY THIS HAS NOT IMPRESSED their fellow trade union "BROTHERS AND SISTERS".
This comes as no surprise, as amongst trade unions Equity stands out as unique - because at any one time 80%+ of our members are out of work !!!
STAND BY TO DEFEND OUR NON SECTARIAN - NON PARTY POLITICAL RULE.
