How do you think the party should improve its relationship with trade unions and the labour movement?
I think we have to be clear and vocal about our support for trade unions, and how working with them is pivotal in delivering a just transition to Net0. Trade Unions need to be involved with designing any Green New Deal that is put forward by the party, and I think that we as a party and our elected politicians and spokespeople, need to much clearer about our support for that.
How do you think your role could help Greens to become more active in and engaged with the labour movement?
As Internal Communications Coordinator I want to work with all Liberation and Member’s Groups to champion the work that they do with the membership, the better we can communicate with ourselves, the better that our campaigns can be, the better that our communication with the public, and trade unions can be. One of the initiatives that I want to roll out is a Skills Census of our members, gathering data on our member’s skills like graphic design, videography and web development, to better deploy member’s into campaigns, together with a Green Party Creative Network, to work with member’s groups like GPTU to create bigger and better campaigns, creating the infrastructure for better communication and campaigns is what I want to do.
How do you see the party’s internal communications raising the profile of union struggles among party members and local parties? What would your priorities be in this regard?
Our infrastructure is aged and creaking at the moment, we are a party of 5,000 members with 50,000 members. I want to see our Internal and External Website completely transformed to be more accessible, functional and campaign oriented. Groups like GPTU should be able to highlight campaigns internally as well as the usual social media platforms that link to Action Network, just as any other Member group should. We should have better infrastructure for organising our electoral and other campaigns, and I’ll work to secure the funding to get that.
