Organising Academy
Building the union
Usdaw was the first union to set up its own Academy which started in 2003 with 15 organising officers. In 2004 18 organising officers were taken on and in 2005, 23 organising officers were recruited. In 2006, 29 organising officers were put through their paces and in 2007 we have taken on 24 new organising officers.
