David Castledine, Regional Finance Officer, gave a talk on the benefits of joining the Thorne Credit Union (TCU), of which he is a board member, which is exclusive to GMB members and their families. TCU is fully regulated and savings are guaranteed up to £85,000 as with other banks, a dividend is paid annually and returned 1.5% last year. Interest is paid on loans at between 0.5% and 3% API and is only paid on what is currently owed. This is much better than so called pay day loan companies. For more information go to the website at ww.thornecreditunion.com, email info@thornecreditunion.com or phone 0161 486 1777. It was agreed that we should look into opening a branch account, to be discussed at the next meeting.
The GMB Regional Equality Conference will take place on Thursday 30th October 2014, at the GMB Regional Office in Nottingham from 10:00am to 3:30pm. This will be a delegate’s conference and on that basis our Northants Branch is expected to send up to four delegates and submit two motions.
Please be mindful that the delegates ought to be representative of at least one of the equality strands: Gender, Disability, LGBT, Migrant Workers, Youth, Race and Retired Members, in order to maintain the GMB’s aim to maximise inclusion. The motions that are submitted, if supported by the conference, will be considered for submission to the National Equality Conference which will take place on 2nd, 3rd and 4th March 2015 and therefore branches are asked to be conscious of the potential they have for raising issues that could be discussed and adopted at a national level. Please let Gordon Glassford know asap if you are available to attend  SUPPORT YOUR NHS - Peoples NHS Petition Dear Colleague
24 politicians have received money from private healthcare companies, then voted for a law that carves up the NHS and hands it to … private healthcare companies! [1] These people sold off our NHS to make a cheap buck. That's wrong, so we need to pressure them to give the money back, to NHS charties. Can you sign the petition today to make that happen? http://action.peoplesnhs.org/dodgy-mps GMB Northants Community Branch are holding a special meeting on October 9th at 7.30pm in Northampton in the Working Men’s Club, 56 Sheep Street.
