B2O

On my way up to Newcastle today to help present a briefing on the TUC's Bargaining to Organise (B2O) campaign.

We kicked off the campaign back in October last year and its 2 key aims are to try to encourage unions to use bargaining as a focus to organise new members and activists, and to promote the role of union reps - making sure they have the training, facilities and time-off they need to do their job properly.

If you fancy finding out more about the campaign you can attend one of the forthcoming briefings (Taunton and Manchester in March) - check out www.tuc.org.uk/B2O for more details.

Kev, this is a blog, not a people's republic...if you want free speech and democracy, and the right to post what you want, when you want etc, in the manner you want then start your own!
