Women's Advisory Committee

The following can be viewed in full at the CWU site by clicking here.  We the Glasgow and Motherwell Branch hope to have our WAC activities within the branch on the site soon.  Please also note that the links on the bottom have been converted to web pages as they were PDF's so you do not need Adobe to view them.

The CWU Women's Advisory Committee (WAC) was established to advise the NEC and the institutional committees on all matters relating to our women members. The Committee meets four times per year and discusses a wide range of issues. The WAC has promoted special training for women within the Union and has been involved in the establishment of the Regional Women's Committees.

The WAC now has a direct link to all the Regional Women's Committees, which have been established and is seeking, through them, to increase the number of women active in the Union. The WAC is also responsible for progressing matters from the CWU Women's Conference and has campaigned on issues such as domestic violence, which the Committees see as an important issue for Trade Unions. The WAC links us with other women internationally through regular reports from the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and from our own International UNI.

The WAC aims to improve the amount and quality of women's participation in the CWU, to ensure that an agenda relevant to women is promoted in all National negotiations and to link up with other organisations working on behalf of women.
