Chapter 8

ULR training

[ch 8: page 53]

When union learning reps (ULRs) take up their position there is a “training commitment” (see page 35) but the TUC’s UnionLearn says time off should also be considered for further training to help ULRs develop their skills and competencies. ULR training should be TUC approved or approved by an individual union, independent from the employer.
