NUT Conference

Once again another pro-Palestinian motion was passed at the Conference. The Union agreed to purchase copies of the education Pack DVD which is going extremely well in the unions. It is good for Branch meetings and to sell.

There was a very successful fringe meeting about 120/150 people - Bill Greenshields, President of NUT and Steve Sinnott General Secretary - were amongst the speakers which included Mohamed Sowwan President of General Union of Palestinian Teachers, Mary Compton (a Past President, secretary of Radnor NUT - UN observer at 2006 elections, contributor to Education pack) Dave Clinch (Devon Secretary - recently visited Battir) Kevin Courtney (NUT Exec - Camden Secretary - recently visited Abu Dis and Hebron)

All the above available to speak at meetings - get them invited!!!!
