UNISON first pathway for migrant workers launched in Glasgow

March saw the first Pathway into UNISON course in the UK set up for migrants in Glasgow.

Eighteen delegates from the Philippines and four from Poland joined representatives from Kenya, Sierra Leone, Nicaragua, India and Zimbabwe.

One of the many guests to join this event was Daniel Krzyszczak from the Northern TUC. Bridget Hunter and Elaine Dinning from UNISONScotland attended the evening discussion and meal with the delegates.

Greg Thomson from the Migrant Workers Unit said: "UNISONScotland should be proud to able to bring together this number of migrant members for this first course.

“Everyone enjoyed it and many of the delegates are considering becoming learning reps, shop stewards or health and safety reps"

There was so much of interest that many migrant members wish to be involved in the future.

However there is only one course per region. If you are a migrant member and remain interested in attending or future courses, please contact: Migrant Workers' Unit directly on 020 7551 1676 or 020 7551 1480.
