Making a difference - The impact of trade union education on Britain's workplaces

Author: Doug Gowan

Thumbnail This is the report of the 2009 TUC Education survey of union representatives attending TUC courses. It is the largest survey of trade union education ever conducted and the first to solely use online data collection methods.

The survey was based on union reps attending TUC courses of any type over the previous five years. It included newly elected reps with little, or in some cases no, experience as well as reps with several union posts and twenty years or more of union activity. The sample was randomly drawn, however, with no attempt to make a selection based on any criterion other than availability of an email address. Given the relatively high response rate, the survey therefore provides a reliable profile of the participants in TUC courses and their activities.
