“STRIKING Women — Combatting the Stereotype” is the theme of the fourth seminar of the National Assembly of Women (NAW) 2024. The event is being held this weekend at the NASUWT education centre at Rednal, Birmingham, and will host an esteemed panel of speakers from across the movement, including Unison, Unite, RCM, PCS, TUC and the National Pensioners Convention.
The seminar will recognise and debate the role of women in leading, taking and supporting strike action, building industrial responses to improvements in pay, terms and conditions of workers, too many of whom are low-paid workers, often women workers in precarious employment sectors.
Unison speaker Jo Moorcroft will share with delegates an example of her union campaigning for NHS workers in the north-west region, where in 2022 alone, the union organised around healthcare assistants in Greater Manchester and won over £30 million in back pay for members.
