Carramea says: “What an opportunity to work for a union ‘committed to equality and justice’ which has a membership of over 50% women and was founded in 1889 by two of the most celebrated people in working-class history, Will Thorne (1857-1946) and Eleanor Marx (1855-1898), who campaigned for the eight-hour working day!”.

Aims
1. Uncover the history, which is of particular importance and poignant interest to black trades unionists, but certainly not only to them.
2. Identify and research complicit individuals and their companies.
3. Create a database of research materials studied.
3. Identify further avenues for future research.
4. Help to strengthen BAME trade union networks.
5. Increase public recognition of some local people and companies’ involvement in Britain’s shameful past.
Main tasks
- Identify materials and sources which shed light on the links between Wolverhampton/Staffordshire and the Slave Trade.
- Use the ‘Encyclopaedia of British Slave-ownership’ and other sources to gather information about families and individuals from the area connected to the slave trade.
- Produce resources suitable for Trade Unions, particularly BAME trade union networks, as well as schools, colleges, and the general public.
Skills
The key skills required are:
- Research, particularly on-line databases
- Synthesising information from a range of sources
- Writing simply and lucidly
- Presenting material to the TUC (others can present to other groups; or the researcher can do it for free if she/he thinks it will help their CV; budget will not stretch to paid presentations)
- Working independently with light supervision
Experience
We would consider applicants with a wide range of experience.
We encourage applications from BAME candidates (including candidates who would want support to develop some of their skills).
We would look favourably on candidates who have a history of trade union and/or anti-racist activism and an interest in the history of empire.
We would be very happy for students who planned to use this work as part of their studies to apply.
We would consider applications on a job share basis.
For anyone who wishes to know more about the role contact g.millar@wlv.ac.uk
Remuneration
The budget for this project is modest. As we are willing to consider candidates with differing levels of experience, we would negotiate hourly rate and total number of hours with the successful candidate.
Please send a CV and short covering letter to info@wolvestuc.org.uk
Closing date: 30 May 2021
This project has been organised and funded by:
Wolverhampton, Bilston and District Trades Union Council with GMB X13, UNITE WM6150, UNITE Black Country Area Activists Committee, UNISON City of Wolverhampton, UNISON S. Staffs and a Trades Union Council Development grant.
]]>Today too workers can face unsafe working conditions due to Covid-19 and employers who want to reduce their wages and holiday, sickness and pension arrangements.
Trade Unions can represent you at work and provide you with free legal advice. And of course the more that workers are united the stronger their bargaining position is!
You have a legal right to join a union. It’s illegal for an employer to disadvantage you because you are a union member.
More than 5.5 million people are in a union – from nurses to checkout assistants to lorry drivers to airline pilots, teachers and civil servants.
