Conference can't vote to force people working for it to break the law π€·
No one will force positive discrimination on them, but if they want special rights for women, they have to be for women.
"Women and some men" is not a legally protected act of discrimination.

Remember, if you are providing places for women as a positive discrimination measure, you can't then offer the place to a male.
It's the law!

If we want to kill the left, the best way is to make removing women's rights a sacred cow policy that can't be discussed.

It's not just a surrender when the union is working with management against their own members.

Unions demanding workers are punished for lawful behaviour & supporting management in employment tribunals does happen occasionally and is a really bad look.

He's probably referring to unions such as UCU and Unite who have recently been on the management side in cases such as Peggie & Phoenix involving women's rights

That little enabling act allows them to advise.
It does not allow them to overrule advice from the supreme court.
Of course parliament can change it, that has no relevance to anything.

The human rights act is UK law and the supreme court is the body that rules on compliance.
