Joanna Trollope has Second Honeymoon with union learners World-renowned author Joanna Trollope will today share her love of reading with hundreds of union learning reps at a conference organised by unionlearn with the Southern and Eastern TUC (SERTUC). Joanna will be speaking alongside TUC Deputy Secretary General Frances O'Grady, SERTUC unionlearn Regional Manager Barry Francis, and unionlearn Director Liz Smith. The conference will bring together over 300 union learning reps from the Southern and Eastern regions for their first unionlearn conference.
The SERTUC unionlearn conference will also see Megan Dobney, Regional Secretary of Southern and Eastern TUC made a Skills for Life Advocate in recognition of her work in trade union education. Delegates from a variety of unions will discuss Train to Gain, challenging racism, vulnerable workers, managing personal finances and a range of other topics.
Barry Francis, SERTUC Regional Manager said:
"I am delighted to welcome Joanna Trollope to the conference and am thrilled that the Southern and Eastern Region unionlearn is gathering together such a wealth of expertise in learning in the workplace. Trade unions and unionlearn, working with good employers, have really enabled the workforce in companies such as Eternit, Royal Bank of Scotland, Arriva, First Bus, and Southampton City Council to access learning and improve their skills. Today is a celebration of all their hard work and that of the learners they have been supporting."
