LEARNING

ABOUT OUR

UNIONS

EA79

The Professional

Footballers Association

You can’t think about our national sport

without thinking of the union that every

footballer is in, the Professional Footballers’

Association (PFA). One of our strongest trade

unions, the PFA is organised in every club

and has national collective bargaining and

representative positions on many of the

sports main governing bodies at home and

overseas. The union looks after members

from when they enter the professional to

long after they retire.

Come and hear the fascinating story of the

union at the heart of football.

EA80

The Musicians’ Union

The Musicians Union is one of our oldest

and most organised unions with a great

role to play on the international stage. Its

incredible history has just been written.

The music industry from Spotify to record

companies, jazz café to music festival would

be a more difficult place than it is without

the tremendous work of the MU which new

and established and peripatetic teachers all

join. Keep Music Live has been one of the

most popular slogans of our age and came

from the MU.

At this event well known musicians and

union officials will outline the work of

the union and open many eyes as to the

challenges for musicians today.

This is a new series of day-schools

open to the public to provide an

opportunity to understand our

Unions more.

Leading figures from the industry

concerned and the union will

describe the work they do and tell

the stories no one ever hears about.

We start with two very strongly organised trade unions, one in our

national sport and one in an area of culture none of us can do without.

Both unions are organised internationally and play a major role in their

professions throughout the world.

Advance booking is essential to avoid disappointment.

SUPPORTING SPECIALIST

UNION OFFICERS

The Educational Trust provides support for specialist officers in our

unions to meet together with invited guest speakers or just to swap

notes to exchange good ideas and tips. It is an essential part of their

continuous professional development.

All meetings are held at Quorn Grange Hotel unless otherwise indicated

and lunch is provided. Meetings are held between 10.30am and 3.00pm.
