Are you up for the organising challenge?

Could you recruit staff in an unorganised workplace and help newly elected reps become self-sufficient within Usdaw?

That is the challenge facing activists who want to be considered for next year’s Academy, Usdaw’s own exclusive six month training programme for committed activists.

The 2008 programme starts on 12 May and application forms must be received by 1 February.

Fill in your details and return the postcard to Paddy Lillis Deputy General Secretary to receive details of how to apply for the Usdaw Organising Academy.

You can download the postcard from our resource library: www.usdaw.org.uk/getactive/resource_library/1165244173_446.html
