All are welcome to our meeting and great food at O'Neills, Earls Court.
LUL Stations & Revenue Council reps Mick Crossey and Janine Booth will run a training workshop on Agreements - why they are important, and understanding what they say.
As we fight to defend our agreements from employers intent on ripping them up, it is essential that our reps and activists understand their importance. And in reps’ day-to-day work for members, you need to know how to work out what rights they give to your members.
Venue: Exmouth Arms, Starcross Street, near Euston
