CWU

The CWU is committed to encouraging more women to get involved in the union at all levels because we believe this makes us stronger and more relevant in the workplace. Over 50% of the UK workforce is made up of women and many are fantastic trade union activists. This newly reviewed course can be delivered over two or three days and includes a full programme of group activities, presentations and guest speakers all facilitated by experienced tutors.

AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME

This course is designed to:

Help women become more active in the CWU
Develop a better understanding of what unions are and how they work
Provide an opportunity to build effective support and networks for woman activists
Develop new ideas for how women can work at the heart of the CWU
Help YOU become more active in the CWU

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Women activists who have recently taken on a role in the CWU as well as women members who are considering getting more active in the CWU.

You can work for any of the companies where we have a presence.
