The course aims to improve union reps confidence and knowledge by providing practical tips for dealing with members issues both during collective bargaining and individual representation but is firmly placed within a union organising context.

This course will help you develop an understanding of jargon and inequality in pension provision, learn about the state provision of pensions, develop an awareness of occupational pension schemes and the regulatory framework that underpins this set-up. You will be given support to develop a trade union campaign in the workplace to raise awareness of a pension issue.
