We present TSSA's "Learning in Union" film. It shows real life Union Learning Reps (ULRs), learners and an employer's perspective to give a snapshot of what union learning is, and why TSSA actively supports it. It's less than 5 minutes long, making it easy to find a few minutes to watch it. Click on the picture to the left to view the film. There are different formats available and you can also choose to view the film with or without sign language.
