Dear Colleague

 

YOUNG MEMBERS WEEKEND – Assertiveness and Dealing

with Bullying in the Workplace

 

UNISON is holding a young members training weekend from the 30th January until 1st February in Eastbourne.  The course will take place from Friday evening until Sunday lunchtime.

 

The weekend should be friendly and fun.  There is an opportunity to meet other young trade union members in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

 

On the course we will be looking at Assertiveness and how to deal with bullying in the workplace.  The course will enable you to increase your confidence and will provide you with some techniques for getting your voice heard.

 

The course is intended for any member of UNISON under 30.  The course is suitable for a wide range of people from experienced UNISON stewards to UNISON members who have never been involved in UNISON before.

 

The residential course costs £140 which your Branch is responsible for paying.  This includes all meals and tea and coffee breaks.  Your UNISON Branch should also pay for your travel costs.  Either your Branch Secretary or your Branch Education Officer should sign your form.

 

                                                                                   

You apply for the course by completing the enclosed application form.  Please note that the closing date for applications for the course is the 2nd January 2004.  I would however advise you to get your applications in before Christmas to allow for any postal delays.  You will receive your joining instructions for the course two weeks before the course takes place.

 

If you have any questions about the course please feel welcome to contact me on the above number or e-mail me on [email protected]

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Emma Phillips

Regional Officer
