Next week my colleague Fenella Porter and I will be speaking at a collaborative event with researchers from the universities of Leeds and Bradford. We have come together around a project that has sought to explore the implications for organised labour of the Trade Union Act, and as an aspect of this, also examined how differing movement organisations have responsed.
The event (poster below) is in Bradford and anyone with an interest in the future of organised labour is welcome to attend. The official invite blurb reads:
As
the Trade Union Act passed through parliament in 2016, a research team from
Ruskin College, the University of Bradford and the University of Leeds asked
union leaders, activists, officials and politicians for their thoughts on what
the Act means for the union movement.
There is no doubt the Trade Union Act is an attack on the labour
movement – but how should we respond?
What kind of movement do we need to be in a changing world?
All
welcome – refreshments included.
