The Committee meets three times per year and discusses a wide range of issues. It sets it's priorities for the year and then splits into working parties in order to follow up these priorities.

Any relevant issues can be discussed and followed up by the Committee. The RAC have lobbied and campaigned to highlight other social issues as diverse as raising awareness on black health issues, fighting the far right and migrant workers & refugees.

The CWU also hold a yearly Black Worker's Conference, which is a motion-based Conference. The main aims of the event are to bring black workers together, helping them to network and to also develop and agree Union policy that directly affects black workers. Two motions from this Conference go forward to CWU Annual Conference, so that it can be highlighted and picked up on a national basis.
