Section outline

  • The purpose of Conference is to instruct the incoming National Executive Committee (NEC). As part of our democratic processes, union members i.e. delegates vote on various motions and union rules. These decisions become Union Policy.

    The union membership determines the principles and policies of their Union, as a result of decisions made at the Union Conference. The Biennial National Conference is normally held every 2 years, but this can change in line with the Union rules.

    The Structure and Governance of the Union is made up of Shop Stewards, House Committee Members and Activists. These key people are elected and appointed at Conference to the following roles:

    ·       President

    ·       Vice President

    ·       Treasurer

    ·       Trustees

    ·       Standing Orders Committee

    ·       Appeals Committee Members 

    ·       National Executive Members
