Union training
[ch 9: pages 46-47]A fifth of the respondents (20%, 239 respondents) have been able to attend trade union training on environment/climate change — either as a separate course or within other union training. This is a 6 percentage point increase compared to 2009. However, most union reps had not asked for time off to attend this sort of training (59%, 695 respondents). A further 5% (60 respondents) had been refused the time off.
