Description

A trade union is essential for improving your working life – but it can be difficult knowing where to begin. Starting from a few coworkers, how can you find ways to put pressure on your employers and force them to make the changes you need?

In this workshop – delivered by and for current and new trade union organisers – we’ll discuss a range of trade union tactics and the different situations they’re suitable for.

What to expect

After a short introductory talk, we will discuss the topic in small groups, with some time to feed back to the whole room. Most of our events have somewhere between 10-30 attendees. We aim for every event to be accessible to everyone, regardless of any prior knowledge!

About Bristol Transformed

Bristol Transformed is a grassroots, volunteer-run, socialist education group. Bringing together activists, trade unionists, and everyone who wants to learn, we’re creating the space to discuss the most important issues facing us, equipping us with the skills and knowledge to transform Bristol and the world.

We run an annual festival of politics, arts and culture in May, and weekly events throughout the rest of the year. See all our events here.

Bristol Transformed is run by dozens of local people. Without new people coming in every year, we wouldn’t be able to maintain the same standard of political education events that you enjoy. If you’d be interested in joining us, sign up as a BT volunteer today and we’ll be in touch!
