Conferences

Post by strangler »

Are there any views on here about the various CWU conferences? I know that in addition to the main conference there is a womens conference and a black workers conference. Does anyone on here attend any of these and what`s your opinion. Do they serve a useful purpose?

This is probably controversial but as we are supposed to be equal ie; colour,creed,race,sexual orientation, male,female why have all these different conferences.!

Agreed evilc. Have often wondered why these are held, apart from any costs involved surely one conference is enough...

No , in my opinion they only serve to reinforce the notion of difference. A postalworker is a postalworker , one conference for ALL.

How much do these conferences cost the union?! Our money should be spent representing ALL members!

I am also of the opinion that it unjustly makes the so called minority factions of the CWU stick out like a sore thumb.
