Case Study: Community Negotiates Learning Agreement with Liberty Steel
Early in 2018, Community Union signed a Learning Agreement with Liberty Steel at the Dalzell Steelworks in Motherwell. The Learning Agreement commits Community and Liberty to working collectively to increase the skills of the workforce - both in their place of work and for their own personal development. This agreement acknowledges the role of the ULR and guarantees sufficient time off for their training and to carry out their duties – it also recognises that the Liberty/Community Joint Learning Committee will be the driving body that will deliver learning and training to Community members in Liberty Steel.

She applied for the role as she wanted real, practical experience in a working environment. With the support of the NUJ, she embarked on her training as a journalist at STV and Forth Valley College.
