THIS weekend sees the picturesque Quorn Grange hotel located in Quorn, Loughborough, open its doors to young trade unionists for a weekend full of inspiration, opportunity, education and networking.
The hotel, which is owned by the General Federation of Trade Unions, is the ideal location for young members to learn about the history of our movement, our role as trade union members and activists within it, understand the meaning of solidarity and to recognise just how large the movement is internationally.
We have a range of members attend from different trade unions and from those who are fairly new members who want to find out a bit more, to those who are more experienced and active in their union but want to connect with other young members and fill in gaps to their knowledge.
