South West Regional Council.

Lovely day in Devon for an inside meeting, but Council this morning has Gerry Gallagher Unison President as a guest speaker.

We watched a moving DVD Demand for Change on motion presented by the Women's Committee, fringe meeting arranged for National Conference, its the first UK campaign to challenge the demand for prostitution.

Our own Sharon Foster from the Bristol Branch talked on Million Voices Campaign.

Interesting debate on Motion 1 Shared Services and Total Place which was overwhelmingly endorsed at Council

This may be an HR spin on getting us to leave the Public Sector Voluntarily, do they think we are mad, and certainly not before the redundancy check.
