CHANGING THE FACE OF YOUR UNION-WORKSHOP FOR MINORITY ETHNIC MEMBERS
Unions should represent and speak for the full breadth of their membership and so it is crucial that diversity is attained within the membership at every level of representation and decision making.
The traditional path for both lay and full time trade union officials has been to start out as activists in their union’s local branch and then get elected to other roles within the union. Some eventually serve as leading lay activists while others may choose a career in the union as a full time official.
In order for unions to fully reflect the multiracial nature of their membership there is a need to overcome the barriers which have resulted in Minority Ethnic members not being reflected at all levels of the union and to encourage support and assist them to play and active and full part in their union.
This one day event is open to minority ethnic members from all Entertainment Unions in the Federation to discuss and learn about representation in their Unions. Travelling expenses will be paid and refreshments provided.
Contact Alice Lemon, Equalities Official, alice.lemon@themu.org, for further information.
