Description |
Presentation to a meeting in Manchester (chaired by Elouise Edwards) by Granville Lawrence on the the organisation of black workers within the trade union movement in his capacity of convenor at British Vitafoam and member of the General & Municipal Workers Union, GMWU. He defines the difference between black people struggling against racism and imperialism and their role in the Trade Union (TU) movement. He discusses all elements of the TU movement -getting work, contracts, union membership, the role of union and attending meetings. He gives many examples of struggles he has been involved in and the necessity to challenge the union because of their racism. How to use the union to expose the exploitation of multi-nationals in Africa, using Nigeria as an example. |
