The conference took place in Esher, London in April 2013, with more than 100 participants from academia, enterprise and trade unions, representing 32 countries including Brazil, South Africa and Japan. They focused on tackling the skills shortage, building organising among P&M workers and unions, and received practical training to promote the essential role of P&M workers. Delegates adopted a ‘manifesto for ethical P&M workers in employment’ which builds a union culture to safeguard workers’ rights on health and safety, whistle-blowing in collective agreements, and lifelong learning.
