UNISON
is keen to increase the number of trade unionists standing as Labour Party
candidates. Local communities are diverse in their life experience,
priorities and needs, and Labour councillors should reflect this diversity in
the skills and experience that they bring to the council.
As
a trade unionist you will have skills in listening to and reassuring others,
negotiating and mediation, problem solving, participating in or running a
campaign.
UNISON
Labour Link has organised training for anyone wishing to find out more, without
any obligation.
You
can choose from one of two sessions on either Tuesday 17 May or Thursday 26
May. Both events will be 5.00-7.30pm at the UNISON Centre, Euston Road,
