To Unite members working in the GPM Sector:
Dear Colleague,
The trade union movement’s core principle is protecting its members.
GPM sector members have fought many industrial battles and I will always support our members in their industrial disputes. My vision for the future of Unite is not a choice between cosy deals and militancy - it’s a choice between winning and failure.
It is vital that Unite's sectors maintain industrial autonomy and receive the support and resources necessary to improve working conditions and pay for our members.
I want to ensure sectors such as the GPM remain strong industrially, supported by experienced officers. I want Chapels and regional officials to have their say in how we plan and win campaigns, as well as in the companies we target.
Reps and officers should play a full part in all our recruitment exercises, as well as the organisation of campaign activities, in order to effectively maintain, strengthen and grow membership.
The investment in training for both members and Unite representatives, is one of the many ways I think Unite could be transformed for the better.
The education of our members, is vital in making sure they have the skills to adapt to changing technology, as well as the education of all Unite representatives to be able to support our members and provide the service they need is, in my view, essential.
The election for the new General Secretary of Unite opens on 25th October. It presents the ideal opportunity for you to join me in making Unite the great union our members deserve.
Yours fraternally
Les Bayliss
