National shop stewards network

This Conference acknowledges that the only way to achieve a socialist society is to
campaign hard to achieve it. This Conference would like to applaud and repeat the
wording of the foreword in the Rule Book, especially;

THE FIRE BRIGADES UNION recognises that workers, however employed, can only
improve their lot by their own endeavours and organisation. A richer and fuller life can
be achieved only by similar means.

TO THIS END the Fire Brigades Union is part of the working-class movement and,
linking itself with the international trade union and labour movement, has as its
ultimate aim the bringing about of the Socialist system of society.

Conference notes however, that in order to achieve a socialist system of society it will
be easier if the FBU are affiliated to as many organisations as possible with the same
aims.

Therefore this Conference calls upon the Executive Council to affiliate The Fire
Brigades Union to the National Shop Stewards Network at the close of Conference
2015.
