A NEW collaboration will bring a range of new economics education to workers across Britain to support organising and bargaining skills.

The General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU) Educational Trust and the School of Oriental and African Studies (Soas) have partnered to deliver “cutting-edge work in the field of political economy,” making it available to workers at all levels of the trade union movement through new courses and educational materials.

These will support core functions of organising and bargaining through developing a clear understanding of the economic basis of society, the groups said.
