Branch meeting Monday 12th November
Our next NUJ Bristol Branch Meeting is on Monday 12th November at 7pm. We are having the meeting at The Hub, 35 King Street, Bristol BS1 4DZ, which is two doors down from the Old Vic Theatre.
On the agenda will be motions to next year’s Annual Delegate Meeting (ADM) held in Belfast. What do we want our union to do, and how do we want to do it? ADM is the place where we can put forward our ideas, and vote on how our union can support and fight for us in times of change.
We have to submit any motions this month for inclusion in the ADM preliminary agenda. If you are concerned about job losses and budget cuts, low pay and freelance fees, new technology and working practices, or the way the NUJ is run, this is your opportunity to put forward motions for the Branch delegates to take to ADM and persuade the rest of the NUJ to vote in as union policy.
Also we can put in nominations for election to the NUJ’s National Executive Council and other ADM elected bodies including NUJ Extra, Pensioners Committee, Disabled Members Council, Equality Council, and the Journalist Magazine Editorial Advisory Board.
Other issues on the agenda: The NUJ’s Commission on Multi-Media Working draft report, Freelance Industrial Council, the Pensions Committee, Student Training Conference. And we will be hearing about what has been happening in our own Branch, the Chapels, and Freelance issues.
Please come along - all members and prospective members are very welcome
