Proportionality Data Interim Report
As part of the CWU’s ongoing commitment to report annual proportionality data, the Equality Education and Development department have produced the attached interim report for branches attention.
The report illustrates the CWU’s proportionality activism for 2019-2020, specifically looking at Sex, Ethnic background and age. We have also included part time workers and representatives who hold multiple roles in the union.
The information that has been used is from our membership database which is provided by members and branches as such it is the most detailed statistics available but cannot claim to be one hundred percent accurate or complete.
The next report for 2020 – 2021 will be released later this year, which will expand on other union roles such as industrial representatives and the new regional structures brought in under re-design. This will provide a more comprehensive and detailed report of our activist make-up.
The department would like to thank branches for updating the OLS representative’s database 50% of branches have completed this exercise which is vital to improving the quality and accuracy of the information we hold. We would politely ask remaining branches that have not yet updated their database to do so by the end of March 2021.
Thank you in advance for your help and co-operation.
Any queries relating to this LTB should be directed to quality&education@cwu.org
Yours sincerely,
Kate Hudson
