The following is a draft motion to be considered at our next meeting on 31 October.

This DM welcomes the increasing membership in the new media and independent broadcasting sectors. DM notes that much of this is coming from members in different sectors and workplaces encouraging their friends and contacts to join.

However, DM recognises that, too often, members focus on recruiting in their own sectors, even though, in their professional lives, they regularly engage with potential members in other sectors. For example, newspaper journalists are regularly in touch with commercial PRs.

DM instructs the NEC to encourage a One Union approach to recruitment across sectors and to produce guidance for members on how best to recruit across sectors.
