Included in the motions that were agreed were support for the Postal Workers, a call to help build for the 2010 Right to Work Conference, a call to bring the Whisky Industry into public ownership, opposition to council cuts, support for an Independence Referendum, calls for troops out of Afghanistan and no to an attack on Iran.
Also passed were motions in favour of continuing Solidarity’s involvement in the discussions led by the RMT union aimed at ensuring a socialist and trade union challenge at the 2010 General election and to continue the party’s principled support for the building of left unity here in Scotland and beyond.
Conference was addressed by speakers including Ronnie Stevenson Convenor of UNISON Shop Stewards at Glasgow City Council’s social work department, (in a personal capacity) and Vanesa Fuertes and Kevin Connor from the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.
