Newham local government branch officer (and UNISON NEC Labour Link member) Irene Stacey was yesterday awarded the TUC lay officers organising award by the Prime Minister. Hat tip to UNISON
TUC President Alison Shepherd noted, “40 of those new recruits - many of them minority ethnic women and many working part-time - have gone on to become union reps or contacts themselves.And Ms Stacey's secret? "I always carry recruitment forms with me," she says, "whether it's one or 10. Because if you sign up just one member, that's one member who's got UNISON protection."
I am sure that any trade union rep will be impressed by Irene recruiting so many members in one year, especially since I believe that Newham’s membership density was pretty high beforehand. Well done Irene!
Knowing Irene, I have no doubt that she would have also had a quick word with Gordon about some local trade union issues!
