Today I wanted to return back to my favorite theme and talk about what makes Lambeth Unison a unique and great Branch to be a member of and to mention one individual who has contributed to us retaining our position on the radar.
The Lambeth Branch, which includes members from employers outside the geographical area of the Borough, is rich in diversity. Activists in the Branch come from different backgrounds and have a multiple of views but we are all united in our determination to fight injustice and unfair play. It was a member of our Branch, Jackie Lewis, that led the London Unison march at Pride the weekend gone and her international profile (I think she is life long Vice President on ILGA) means that our name is known throughout the globe.
We will always have our critics and their criticism will sometimes be justified but the fact remains that we, as a Branch have the ability to come together when we need to and fight common battles. We sometimes disagree but we are also able to build and develop and protect the interests of our 2300 members.
Good to talk about how you lot get together for fights but we all know that you have a lot of rebellions? Why not talk about that?

Hi Frank
ReplyDeleteYou will always have a certain amount of disagreement within any democratic organisation and that is a good thing.
