Help shape the future of our Trade Union movement

The TUC is undertaking a major piece of research into the role of union reps in the modern workforce. We’ve been travelling round the country speaking to reps and are now launching a UK-wide union reps survey.

We believe in a movement with reps at the forefront of what we do. That means supporting reps to win in the workplace – from resources and learning, to events and guidance.

But if we want to change things, it needs all of us involved. If you’re a union rep, will you take this survey to contribute to our strategy and help shape the future of our movement?

Take the survey.

Chancellor announces £400 million investment for 16-19 year olds’ education – the sector responds

“Any funding is to be welcomed,” states UCU general secretary Jo Grady, “but we need to be clear that it falls well short of the £3bn needed to restore college budgets to their 2010 levels. It is particularly disappointing that there is no additional funding for adult education, which has seen its budget slashed by over 45% in real terms this decade. The government must dig deeper if it wants to ensure our colleges can deliver transformative education for all those who would benefit.”
