The next instalment of the Fórsa Skills Academy ‘Lunch and Learn’ series will take place next Friday (25^th August) from 1pm – 2pm, focusing on trade union democracy and the importance of voting in union ballots and elections. Members interested in attending should register their interest here. 

Fórsa’s Director of Membership Seán McElhinney will explain the intricacies of operating union ballots, and the importance of the data and how we can all help to make ballots a success and strengthen our union.

In addition, this session will provide a space for Fórsa representatives to gain an appreciation of the power of a high turnout to influence better outcomes, and how we can assist branches to raise their ballot turnout. Members will also have the opportunity to have their questions answered on the spot by those with the specific expertise and experience on this topic.

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. Members can catch up on previous sessions here. 

If you have any questions or queries about the application process please contact skillsacademy@forsa.ie.

There’s never been a better time to join a union, and it’s never been easier. Join Fórsa today.
