4 key factors of successful organising • to allot and attract more financial means for organising; • to involve good professionals; • to prepare and realise the strategic plan; • to mobilise all union members for organising activities.
Challenges Union Have to Face • Lack of experience in this field; • There are no professional organisers; • Existing TU structures are not fit to organising; • Financing; • There is no strategic planning; • Not enough activities with youth; • New economy sectors and informal economy; • The lack of basic knowledge about trade union rights and ILO Conventions.
RECOMMENDATIONS (1) • It is necessary to prepare a long-term realistic strategic plan and the mechanism of its realisation; • Structural reforms and changes are necessary to adapt existing TU structures to organising; • It is necessary to foresee a long-term financing including this to yearly TU budgets as a separate budget-line, confirming it on the highest TU decision level; • Youth activities should not end with the creation of a formal structure;
RECOMMENDATIONS (2) • Professional selection and preparation of organisers, formation of a good organisers’ team; • IT should be used as efficiently as possible; • It is necessary to develop closer co-operation with other TU departments; • Organising campaigns in new economy fields and informal economy; • Work with migrants; • Use of international information and experience; • Basic education and information on TU rights and main ILO Conventions, promotion of the code of conduct.
