EA39 Apprentices at Work

1 day 1 day

A new wave of initiatives is taking place with regard to apprentices at work, are they good, bad or indifferent? Do they represent an organising challenge or opportunity? Are some of the new approaches threats to organised unions? Is there money we could benefit from as unions? Will more unions employ apprentices? A discussion of the policy landscape and funding issues will be followed by a sharing of experience and an analysis of the role of unions in the situation. A school suitable for union leaderships at local and national level.

EA37 Union Building Conference

3 day

This event at the Yarnfield Conference Centre in February 2018 builds on the fantastic success of our 2015 Summit and our 2016 Building Conference. The conference looks at all of the questions and issues that concern us all when building our unions and sharing our best ideas. Key structural, legal, financial, organisational, staffing and other issues that we have to be adept at when running our unions are discussed with experts from the Movement and Higher education and at this next event from community organising. There is a subsidised delegate charge for the event and bursaries are offered to enable all unions to fully participate. Many union activists have to manage union finances in one way or another. All EC and often regional council members are responsible for the good order of union accounts. This course to be run by the GFTU’s Head of Finance and her team will respond to participants’ needs and discuss the necessary compliant systems, the appropriate software and management account issues and best forms of presenting and monitoring finances.
