‘You’ll be part of a high-performing team but will also need to be able to work equally well on your own initiative. You will have previous administrative experience in a conference and events role, with experience in using the Cvent events management and survey platforms (or similar). As we continue with our virtual events you will be adept at using virtual meeting software (such as Zoom Meeting and Webinar) in addition to MS office programmes.

This is a busy department, and meticulous attention to detail is essential along with the ability to be highly organised and accurate in your work.’

The Coming Year

‘We have an exciting events schedule for the coming year, with many webinars taking place outside normal office hours, and you will be part of the team responsible for producing these events. Once face-to-face events resume you will also find yourself travelling throughout the UK, and occasionally overseas; you could be away from home for short periods, including some weekends. However, for now, no external travel is currently required.’

Research project worker to investigate connections between Wolverhampton / Staffordshire and the slave trade – what a fantastic opportunity to contribute to CHANGE! https://carramea.org.uk/wolverhampton-slavery-research-worker/ Fri, 14 May 2021 16:55:55 +0000 https://carramea.org.uk/?p=669 The Wolverhampton, Bilston & District Trades Union Council is seeking a researcher to undertake some initial research into Wolverhampton/Staffordshire connection to slavery and the slave trade. This project stems from the Black Lives Matter movement.

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

https://Researcher-Wolverhampton-&-Slave Trade

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.

Working people and Trade Unions https://carramea.org.uk/working-people-and-trade-unions/ Sat, 09 Jan 2021 10:28:44 +0000 https://carramea.org.uk/?p=610 In the 19th Century workers joined together to form trade unions to protect themselves from unhealthy working conditions and exploitative employers.

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.

For details of a Trade Union that represents workers in your occupation:

If you need any help with this, Carramea will help you!
