Clare Hargreaves and Lisa Ryan.
Regions unite!
The North West and Irish Region was invited
to attend the Midland and East Coast Region’s
first women’s conference, which was recently
held in Nottingham.
The conference was opened by Regional
Secretary Andy Worth and the two-day event
saw talks on union structure and function; the
menopause and work; domestic violence; and
women in GMB history.
Our delegation enjoyed the conference and
meeting colleagues from the Midlands – we’d
like to wish them success for future events.
Be proud!
