What union learning can do – and how you can make it happen

UNISON’s ULearn magazine is out today, and as usual it’s packed full of stories showcasing the fantastic UNISON College activity that’s gone on across the union in the last year. Find out how:

  • Black members in UNISON Eastern have been receiving training to deliver their own discussion sessions
  • UNISON is empowering members and activists to support trans colleagues
  • sausage rolls became the key to starting the conversation about learning

And ULearn isn’t the only new publication available. We’re very pleased to say that UNISON’s Branch Guide to Lifelong Learning has been fully revised and updated. In it you’ll find:

  • how to use learning as an organising issue
  • ideas for supporting campaigns through learning
  • a step by step guide to getting a learning agreement
  • case studies from UNISON learning reps and branches who have made a success of lifelong learning
