GFTU and co operation

The University is keen to sign a partnership with us particularly to support our cultural work, promote degree apprenticeships, consider work on climate change and development issues internationally. Our Liberating Arts Festival will be held with them. The University is also a world leader in issues of climate change. Marjohn College. The College is keen to sign a partnership with us particularly to support our education agenda. Keele University. If you attended you might recall that Dr Stephen French made a helpful contribution to the Union Building Conference on Performance management and also attended a meeting with a union to consider training for senior managers. Staff Development and Training The GFTU deliver in-house training for a number of affiliates and Albion Education and Training can provide training and staff development opportunities including;

Train the Trainer

 

First Aid

 Risk management / Health and Safety  Fire Marshall  Manual Handling  Food Hygiene

Training can be delivered on-site and off-site for affiliates. Off-site courses can be delivered at Partner’s premises, Quorn Grange Hotel and other Union Friendly facilities.

Why not encourage employing organisations who might want to hire very expensive non trade union experienced trainers to tender their work to us.

Fleet management Most Unions have a relatively small fleet of vehicles, pooling the expertise and taking away the hassles of leasing vehicles, Insurance, Road Fund Licences, MOT’s and servicing could be a service that affiliates would be able to take advantage of. Courier services There is a significant economy of scale if we collectively procured parcel services through a company such as TNT – with individualised collection and delivery arrangements but the price advantage of 20+ locations combined into a single volume calculation. Travel arrangements The GFTU are able to offer Rail Warrants and re-invoice charges on a monthly basis, making administration simpler through a single invoice.
