No Comments on Unison training seminar – 23 Jan 2017

UNISON are holding a Training Seminar for School based members on 23 January 2017, the event will take place at The Cypriot Centre in Wood Green. The aim of the seminar is to increase the capacity and knowledge of locally based representatives. The event is initially being opened to up to two representatives per school. For further information please contact Haringey UNISON on 028489 3351. Topics covered will include school funding reform, Academies, and the future of schools.

I would encourage all schools to facilitate the attendance of UNISON members at this event which is Trade Union training, and as such those attending should be granted paid time off to do so. Trade Unions play an important part in our Schools and we value their input in both supporting individual members and dealing with the increasing range of issues in Schools.

Sincerely,
