The next instalment of the Fórsa Skills Academy ‘Lunch and Learn’ series will take place on Friday26th May from 1pm – 2pm, focusing on how to speak to workers about the union.

Fórsa’s Director of Strategic Organising, Orlagh Fawl, will host the hour-long virtual session, providing members with knowledge and key information to support them in their union work.

Fórsa’s Strategic Organising Department is tasked with building union power and strategies across the unions network. Among other objectives, the work of this Department focuses on the empowerment of union members and activists in finding their voice and effectively executing change in their workplaces.

In conjunction with the Skills Academy, this session will focus on “Talking about YOUR union – the why, the how and the when”, and will facilitate and encourage attendees on further appreciating the importance of engaging with co- workers on workplace topics that are important to them, the benefits of being a member of a trade union and the role of the union in effecting change in their workplaces.

Whilst these sessions are predominantly for information, there will be opportunities for participants to ask questions via the chat function.

The ‘Lunch and Learn’ series aims to give members the knowledge to support them as a union member or representative whilst supplementing the broad range of training programmes currently being offered by Skills Academy.

The virtual sessions will take place on the last Friday of very month from 1pm – 2pm, exploring different topics.
