Respect
at Work Conference,
Easton, Bristol, February 2000
Respect at Work Zone
The
afternoon session was opened by Sarah Stone, the Project Co-ordinator for
a short Respect at Work project in Easton and Ashley, promoting trade
unionism within the local neighbourhood. She is the Chair of Easton
Community Association. Sarah highlighted the need to increase union
visibility within the local community. She showed the painting, produced
by a local artist that is being used in the Project materials. The aim was
to create a Respect at Work Zone, where people would be encouraged to join
unions and unions would strengthen links with local organisations. Free
employment advise sessions were being planned and even employer advise was
being considered. Unions need to organise but they also need to change and
the project would help inform unions what they needed to do to win new
recruits and increase their presence in such areas. Sarah gave notice of
the Respect Festival in Easton on 19 August and Eastville Park on 20
August.
