Motion no: 19
Conference recognizes the work done by affiliate unions to counter the scourge of the Far-Right.
Conference was appalled by the scenes of a brutal knife attack on 08 June but that this terrible event was no excuse for the appalling race riots and pogroms that followed.
Conference welcomes foreign nationals into our unions and our communities and recognizes the valuable work they do to invest in and support all our communities, especially their work in the health service.
Conference also recognizes the work of activists in our communities, such as Lurgan Against Racism in our own Trades Council area whose work builds better communities, not tears them down.
Conference calls on the Northern Ireland Committee and its affiliate unions to redouble our efforts to both support our members who have come to this part of the world to work. Conference also calls for further engagement in a programme of education for all our members to promote the work of immigrant workers and the benefits that they bring. Conference also calls on affiliate unions to better engage with community anti-racism groups such as Lurgan Against Racism, to better support and promote their work.
