Following feedback from unions, Scottish Union Learning has re-developed our ULR Development Days/Local Learning Forums and re-launched these as Union Learning Development Days. Taking place biannually, the Union Learning Development Days will have a focussed workshop, and will look at how to support and develop local union-led learning activity. The local Trades Union Councils will contribute to the discussions on the need for local networks of trade union reps and activists.

Workshop info
Scottish Union Learning will Chair the Union Learning Development Day to ensure contextualisation with the role of the ULR.
The workshops have been developed in response to the Autumn iteration of Union Learning Development Days, at which there was discussion around the work of Glasgow Trades Council in tackling discrimination in workplaces and communities.
The workshops / sessions are funded through the United Workplaces Fund. The United Workplaces Fund has been established by the STUC with funding support from the Scottish Government, to enable trade unions to pilot and develop new activities tackling the rising threat of prejudice, hate, discrimination, and polarisation in workplaces.
Show Racism the Red Card will facilitate a workshop which will look at where misinformation comes from, the negative impact of racism and discrimination and how, within a union-led learning context, discrimination can be tackled.
Building on the Show Racism the Red Card workshop, Glasgow Trades Council will facilitate a workshop session on United Workplaces. This workshop will utilise the training the Trades Council have undertaken as part of the United Workplaces project, focussing on how to tackle far-right narratives, polarisation and discriminatory behaviours within local workplaces and communities. The Trades Councils will look at how union branches, reps, activists and members can get more involved with their Trades Councils and the need for and importance of Trades Councils within local communities and workplaces.
