The People'S Charter

This Conference endorses the previous position that the FBU has taken nationally regarding The People's Charter. With this in mind we feel that encouraging officials and members to sign the Charter is a start but not enough. We demand that the Executive Council establish a training package to deliver to members/officials at local, regional and national level, this could be delivered through the national education programme. We believe this will not only promote The People's Charter but also assist in giving members and officials the necessary skills to forward the FBU's political agenda. Many of us know there is a lack of real political choice on offer but by using The People's Charter we may have a vehicle to start the drive for change this will not only help the FBU and its members but will also help to improve the overall work and life chances for working people throughout the country.
