CWU Annual Conference Health & Safety Debates

This week, CWU delegates from across the UK meet up in Bournemouth to debate CWU policy.

In previous years we have had a large number of motion s debated within the Health & Safety section of the Agenda.

However, this year due to 13 of 16 motions being rejected by the standing orders committee, and following acceptance by the NEC and withdrawal of motions by Branches, only two motions within the section were debated.

That said, one very important motion that covers health & safety was not in the section at all:

Motion 34

Conference instructs the NEC to campaign with all businesses where we have CWU members, like BT &Royal Mail Group, to see that all Dog legislation comes under one singular law.

As the present 11 pieces of legislation hinder prosecutions or claims for our members, this to be achieved with the assistance of the CWU Safety Dept.

Eastern No.5

Motion 42

Conference welcomes the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Bill 2017-19 which will reach the report stage on Friday 27 April.


So Conference instructs the NEC to work with Health & Safety Dept. & likeminded organisations to include all utilities workers and those where the CWU is recognised in order to get them better protection from employers on the
implementation of this Bill.
