Following the introduction of the Tories' (Anti) Trade Union Act this year and after listening to our members and reps, I am pleased to announce LTRC is providing "Bite Size" training thanks to Sis Janine who kindly has taken the task to produce training materials as well as tutor herself.

Dear Colleagues
Representatives/Activists One Day Training
The RMT are arranging local courses for all reps and activists for recruitment/retention and mapping.
The courses will be run local to branches in the London Transport region and are for 1 day.
All reps should try to attend as we believe this course offers local reps guide and assistance on managing members in their areas and can aid in improving recruitment.
Now is the time to book a course with the Workers' Education Association (WEA).
Here are some of the upcoming courses:
The following RMT Education courses will be taking place in our region in the near future. The introductory reps course is ideal for newly elected reps (all types) who have not completed their Stage One TUC or RMT course. It is also of great value to activists, who may wish to be a rep in the future and to help build a stronger workplace. All courses are funded by head office, so there is no cost to the branch or the region.
Autism in the Workplace is a really exciting regular course being run at the Workers’ Educational Association.
The next course will be on 27th January 2015.
To find out more about the course and to register please go to course tutor Janine Booth's website here.
In the July edition of Bakerloo News:
RMT rep Janine Booth has written a guide to autism in the workplace for the TUC - their first ever guide on this subject.
Autism is a term covering a wide range of conditions that reflect neurological differences among people. It can cause social barriers which may affect the lives of people with autism at work. There are about 332,600 people of working age in the UK with autism. However, only 15 per cent of adults with autism are in full-time employment and only 9 per cent are in part-time work.
