Summary of the branch meeting held on 24.02.16
The minutes of the last meeting were agreed to be a true record.

It was agreed to make a donation to the Jam Detached Youth Work Initiative in Corby

The secretary has started the arrangement for this year’s Workers Memorial Day event.  Letters have gone to various unions for support. Tom Beattie will speak, a request has gone to Labour Behind the Label to provide a speaker. Youth Brass 2000 have been asked if they could do a turn.

A cheque had been presented to the Corby Food Bank at a cake sale to raise funds.  Debbie said that £600 had been raised which is excellent and she passed on their thanks to the branch..  It was agreed that the branch should support the other food banks in the county.  It was agreed that we donate £50 per quarter to each food bank by standing order.  There are eight food banks.

Branch finances remain healthy

Traffic on the website is improving.

Management at Kier in Corby seem to be sure that they will get a year’s extension on the current contract.  There are lots of grievances and a couple of disciplinary being processed at the moment.  Rachelle said that she is spending a lot of her time on site.

The meeting closed at 7.50pm.

THE GMB NORTHANTS BRANCH SECRETARY’S RESPONSE TO THE ELECTION RESULT

11/5/2015

0 Comments

 
I along with most trade unionists feel very disappointed with the election result, especially in Corby and East Northants where the electorate in their ‘wisdom’ have elected a right wing Tory and not Andy Sawford, the labour candidate and former MP who has represented the constituency since the bye election in 2012. Andy had been an excellent MP and had worked hard for all his constituents. There must be many who didn’t vote or voted UKIP who will be regretting their actions now.  With the exception of Corby Borough Council Northamptonshire is now a sea of blue. Dedicated to the better off few with no consideration to the needs of the many.

Overall we now face five years of attacks on the poor, benefit cuts, slashes in local government funding, more food banks and the further privatisation of the NHS and education.  

At the same time right wing Tory MPs, with the aid of the press, will be working towards our exit from Europe.  All this will fall into the hands of the SNP like manna from heaven.  They will be able to claim, quite rightly, that Westminster no longer represents the interests of the people of Scotland and the breakup of the UK will be very real possibility.

On top of this of course will be the effect on our members who face ever worsening conditions at work.  We can expect the continuing use of agencies and more and more people working on zero hours contracts while being barely able to rent a home never mind buy a house.  All the while the rich can look forward to more tax cuts while they continue to live off the fat of the land.

We at the GMB will continue to represent the interests of our members but it’s going to be a long, hard five years.
