The ‘turn to organising’ in the trade union movement represents an important development that has helped support renewal across the labour movement.However, commitments to develop an ‘organising agenda’ in trade unions can sometimes be more apparent than real. The term itself carries many different meanings and this can add to the confusion. In this course we draw on the book ‘Lessons in Organising’, and a wide range of other sources, to develop a deeper understanding of what organising is, and how organising approaches can help build union power.
There are two versions of the programme.
Lessons in Organising – Workplace is ideal for union workplace reps/stewards and branch officers and looks at combining local strategies with practical steps to develop effective organising across branches and workplaces.
Lessons in Organising – Strategy is aimed at trade union leaders and those with roles as organisers. It looks at how to develop a strategic approach to organising including establishing organising cultures in trade unions.
Please register for the course that is closest to your role within the union movement. This course will be delivered by Professor Howard Stevenson. He has extensive experience as as a researcher and activist and is one of the co-authors of ‘Lessons in Organising’.
