1. Hand out marks for Assignment 1 – I would do this, but I only have Paige’s so far!

2. Koni Rakhid, an Equalities Officer from Nottinghamshire County Council, is coming to NA4 NABBs site at 11.05am this Thursday to give a short presentation on racial diversity and tensions in the Hucknall area specifically for your benefit, although Yr 12 BTEC students will attend as well. This will be really useful and important for you as it will consolidate your learning for Assignment 1 and therefore inform what you say and discuss in assignment 2 (there is a clear overlap). The talk will only last 20 minutes. Can you all make it?

There was an important strike at Fords in Dagenham Essex that set the ball rolling for Equal Pay. It was in the late 1960s and led to the first equality legislation – The Equal Pay Act of The screen play for the film about it (Made in Dagenham) was by William Ivory – a Nottingham writer.

11. PACE (1984) came long as a result of riots by the black communities in the early 1980s against the police in places like Brixton, south London, and Toxteth in Liverpool. Unemployment was high and the poorer black communities felt the police were targeting them. Evidence based on the number of black people stopped and checked suggested they were being unfairly treated.

15. Trade Unionism & workers’ rights ‘Everyone has the right to work, to have a fair wage for their work and to be a member of a Trade Union.’ 1800s – Combination Acts meant workers were not allowed to meet and discuss their wages. Tolpuddle Martyrs defied this as they were agricultural workers being terribly abused by their employers (the rich land owners). They met up to discuss what they could do and were arrested and deported to Australia. There was such a public uproar they were eventually pardoned and the Combination Acts were repealed. Late 1800s/ early 1900s – growth of the Labour Party and the eevntual election of Clement Atlee in Workers’ Rights and the NHS were a high priority and Trade Unions grew in strength. 1970s – Trade Unions were organising lots of strikes and many felt they were ‘holding the country to ransom’ – 3 day week/ powercuts 1980s – Margaret Thatcher came to power. She branded Trade Unions as ‘the enemy within’. To be a member of a Trade Union became illegal in some places (GCHQ for instance) and ‘black balling’ of active Trade Union members so they couldn’t get jobs was a common practice. Legislation was introduced that meant strike action could only happen after a postal vote of TU members and at least 50% of those voting had to be in favour. Anyone going on strike illegally could be lawfully sacked. 1990s – under the new Labour Government there was a change in attitude towards TUs, but the need for a vote and the contractual situation remained the same. 2000s – Conservatives now want any strike to be illegal unless 50% of the TU membership are in favour (not just those who voted). Legislation has yet to be passed. What do you think?

16. Mini debates: 1) If discrimination on the grounds of age is illegal, should 16 year olds be allowed to vote? 2) p97 lists the documents we have to be able to provide to comply with certain rules and regulations. Most countries (except UK and USA) require citizens to carry ID cards at all times. Should we do the same?

17. In preparation for a debate we will hold and film next week: 1) Read and make sure you understand what each of these Acts did (during the debate I will let you refer to these notes, but I do NOT want you simply reading them out or clearly having to read them before answering a question about them) 2) Assignment tips p110. ‘The I’ (online as i-news) is a cheap and good source of current affairs targeted at your age group. I have asked it to be stocked in the Resource Centre – not sure what’s happened there. 3) Research: a) views on ID cards b) prisoners’ voting rights c) issues with Free Schools (particularly religious ones) d) objections to the Human Rights Act 1998 e) views on lowering the voting age to 16 f) if the right to work for a fair wage is a Human Right, should the right to withdraw your labour in protest be a Human Right too?
