I've blogged a lot on this site about the need for unions to step up our efforts to organise the next generation of union members.

A key element of this is investing in dedicated organisers - people committed to playing their part in the rebuilding of the labour movement. Since 1998 the TUC's Organising Academy and its sponsoring unions have recruited and trained well over 200 new union organisers; more than half of these new organisers have been women, and some 55% aged 30 or under.
