Motion 84
Mobilising and Supporting Hospitality Workers
“That this Congress notes:
- Unite Hospitality members took strike action at 13th Note, Glasgow on 14-16th July 2023. This industrial action was historic;
- that the ever changing and uneven development of capitalism has led to a shift in the organisation of workers in Scotland. Hospitality and Service industry workers are the fastest growing part of Glasgow’s workforce. Industrial and imperial decline has created an unproductive, dislocated, and alienated economy increasingly characterised by insecure work and aggressive wage suppression;
- at the forefront of this crisis of capital are hospitality workers; and
- Trade Unions must adapt to the changes in the economy and make sure that their organising and growth strategies reflect this.
“Congress calls on the General Council to:
- mobilise young workers to support Hospitality picket lines and actions;
- support upcoming Unite Hospitality and Better Than Zero education and organising; and
- support 13th Note workers in their campaign to establish a workers’ Co-op.”
