A new account of the power of

workers’ history to strengthen

us today.

The GFTU has commissioned a new

75-minute performance piece from

Banner Theatre, with video clips,

songs and stories to bring alive the

full sweep of our trade union history

in a powerful and impactful way.

Trade union history is not taught

in schools, and labour history is

a minority strand in universities’

curriculum. Few workers

get to know of the great

transforming history

of our Movement

through their own union training

programmes.

Our History, Our Future

is a perfect

way of filling some of these gaps.

This performance piece is ideal for

use in trade union training events,

and in the wider community.

It is accompanied by a popular

education workshop that uses

the exciting and moving material

presented to stimulate debate about

then, now, and what is to come.

Our History,

Our Future

The past we inherit,

the future we build

‘I never knew unions had done so much for so long and so changed

the world. I am proud to be part of this Movement.’
