SECRETARYS REPORT TO THE WMCATUC AGM 6th DECEMBER 2008
The County Association has continued to fulfil its main role of providing a forum for local Trades Union Councils to meet and exchange ideas, information, details on campaigns and support for each other. The County Association also provides a voice within the Regional TUC and at National Conferences. Delegates have continued to play a full and active roll within the Trade Union movement in the West Midlands and at National level.
Conferences and Committees.
WMCATUC had one delegate attend the Trades Union Council’s Annual Conference. Delegates were present at the Midlands Regional TUC and on its Executive. Delegates have also attended the Women’s Advisory Committee, various other TUC organized events as well as many Trade Union backed protests and meetings. Reports were received and circulated when provided. We are still entitled to send a delegate to the West Midlands Fire & Civil Defence Authority Committee meetings, which are usually mid-week, but have been unable to do so this again year. Mark Fellows from Walsall TUC does attend these meetings and is able to report back to us.
