News from TUC Cymru
I’m just over halfway through my placement and suprisingly I’m feeling more invigorated and full of energy than I did in September last year.
Remembering why I wanted to be an organiser in the first place has made me realise that I’m doing the right thing and that things aren’t always going to go smoothly but when they do you get a great feeling.
I’ve recently completed the Stage 1 TUC Tutors course which for me has been really useful because I get asked to deliver workshops and sessions for unions around organising and increasing participation from young workers and members and will be tutoring a Youth Weekend School this weekend.
The ‘A Better Way to Work Wales’ pack is almost ready to go and I’m excited by the propsect of getting trained reps and teachers delivering the materials to school children.
Work with NUS Wales is ongoing but again we’ve got a number of exciting joint activities planned including a publication for working students on basic employment rights.
Plans for a training/briefing session for unions on organising working students are well underway and I hope to have a number of people who organise working students contributing to this.
Well that is all I have time for at the moment but another update to come soon!
