This course is for anyone who wants to look at challenging the increasing precarity of contracts across our sector. The course will cover putting in a structured claim along with organising and campaigning around that claim. This course is open to all reps, activists & members who are plugged into their local branch.

This course is for all Green reps along with those in the branch who are interested in bargaining around environmental issues. The course will help reps navigate UCU Green New Deal bargaining advice and enable you to work on a potential claim to the employer along with looking at a deep organising approach to any campaign strategy.

This online course is aimed at all new reps or those who will be undertaking a branch role. Existing reps who have not attended training before are also encouraged to attend. The course will cover all aspects of your role as a rep including your rights, union democracy, recruitment and communication. You should complete this course prior to applying for the Rep 2 course: We would also suggest you consider the 'introduction to case work' course when it next runs in your region.

This short course taught over two half days is for both members and activists who want to learn more about, and perhaps get more involved in UCU.
