Friends and colleagues in Boston are welcome to join us for the CMS Division Keynote Address which will be given by Dr Jo Grady, an employment relations academic who was elected General Secretary of the University and College Union (a British trade union). Dr Grady has led the union through an unprecedented period of industrial action which seems likely to be ongoing at the time of the Annual Meeting – because of this, she will address us via video link. She occupies a unique position from which to speak with academic expertise and practitioner experience.
We hope this session will extend beyond the conventional keynote format as we try to make good on the theme of the Annual Meeting – to put the worker front and centre. We are grateful that Industrial and Labor Relations expert and founder CMS Division Chair, Professor David Jacobs (American University, Washington DC, USA), has accepted our invitation to respond to Dr Grady's address on behalf of the Division. Professor Jacobs will open the room to discussion so we can hear from voices across the division and around the globe.
All are welcome from the CMS Division – and beyond – to join what promises to be a very powerful session.
