Jeremy Dear: Support the strikers
http://jeremydear.blogspot.com/2010/11/support-strikers.html
Monday, November 01, 2010. We are gearing up for strikes at the BBC. I've been doing reps meetings and drafting strike leaflets and bulletins most of today. Here's some of the appeal that's gone out to NUJ branches. Support NUJ members fighting for fair pensions at BBC. Can you afford to simply give away £100,000, £25,000 or even ‘just’ £10,000? But those are the kinds of sums every journalist faces losing under the BBC’s latest pension proposal. The current offer fails those tests and it. Make cheques p...

Friday, September 10, 2010. The blog has risen one place in this year's Tigmoo. Guide to the top union blogs. It now stands at number 13. Note to self - must do better.

Our Finance Committee. Good decision to back Ken Capstick's. Legal action against the NUM. Having to delay my departure to TUC. All will be revealed on Monday.

http://mutteringsfromthesouth.blogspot.com/2009/12/institute-of-employment-rights-spectre.html
Mutterings from the South. I'm 27 years old, a husband, a father and a UNISON Branch Secretary, in that order. I have, on occasion, been accused of being a lefty, I will leave you to draw your own conclusions. Oh, and this blog is entirely in a personal capacity and nothing to do with UNISON!

Jeremy Dear: A brief respite from the BBC
http://jeremydear.blogspot.com/2010/10/brief-respite-from-bbc.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. A brief respite from the BBC. Back from Brussels where I was at a meeting of the EFJ's Labour Rights Expert Group. Where we discussed union organising at Sky, lobbying in Europe over labour laws and a mapping project for the European new media industry. I also had a useful meeting with IFJ. General Secretary Aidan White. Prior to that it has been BBC, BBC and a bit more BBC. The unions are now consulting members on the latest offer. Today we've also launched our new campaign.
