Lithgow and Belich on Rights

What it moved on to was a motion by Angela Belich and Robert Lithgow about forming a three person commitee to draw up a bill of rights for Association employees. Robert spoke first, saying that the motion had already been passed at the SGM - what he wanted now was to actually carry it out

Something has to be done within the Students' Association to avoid the repetition of what he referred ro as 'grave misjudgements in the immediate past.' He wanted the motion to be interpreted as broadly as possible by the commitee, to make sure everything is covered. He also said that it applied to all Association employees (e.g. electricians, Salient typesetter) not just the office workers.

As for who would be on the committee, he first suggested himself, since he had started it all off and wanted to see it through. Then there was Graeme Collins, an ex-president of the Association and a life member, whose experience and interest qualified him in Robert's opinion. He also suggested members of unions, but no specific union yet, since the bill of rights applied to all Association employees.

The committee would have the power to co-opt as many extra people as it liked, but Robert didn't want any Exec, members on it since it was 'they that made this committee necessary.'
