The Art of Trade Unions.
December 6th – Place Theatre Bedford @ 10am
Trade unionism and the arts are not often thought about together; yet, not only do cultural workers form large trade union membership – but the arts themselves have long been agents and catalysts of social change.
The Art of Trade Unions event on December 6th will showcase how cultural work can assist trade union organising and training, campaign and education. The day will be a riveting series of presentations from
-
Banner Theatre,
-
poet Jess Green,
-
Townsend Theatre Company,
-
Theresa Easton of the Artist Union of England
-
Documentary and film makers Reel News,
The very exciting – and free – event on December 6th will lead to the first ever appointment of a GFTU cultural worker.
