With the on-going attacks on Trade Unions and working people from this Government, UNISON Education, Training and Development is absolutely key to fighting these challenges. Never has it been more necessary for UNISON to continue to develop and deliver quality Activist education to enable our representatives to carry out their respective roles to the highest level, in order to combat issues and injustice in workplaces and in society as a whole.
Never has it been more important that you support your union and take advantage of UNISON’s training courses.
We have a host of courses we can link you into and even put some on specially if there is a demand – from stewards training to women’s assertiveness to public speaking to equalities. We could even support the organising of a speaking Spanish course or English as a second language if there were enough of you!
Education has been the bedrock of the trade union movement – it was the trade union movement that taught reading and writing in communities that had not got access to schooling and raised their consciousness and self-belief. One of the first union banners had Educate Agitate and Organise as their slogan.
This branch along with UNISON as a whole wants to keep this tradition alive – check out our courses & if there is anything else you believe you could support us putting on or know there is a need there out in our membership let us know
Educate Agitate & Organise!
