Thanks to our membership of the General Federation of Trade Unions, our members can access a great range of courses in trade union activity. From the history of the movement to specific courses on, for example, becoming a rep, or social media and the law, these courses are an amazing resource for building our union and the movement as a whole.
This brochure, Education for Action, explains new free training courses launched by GFTU to help AUE members along the way to growing the trade union, campaigning for better pay and workers' rights.
