10. Unite the Union John Quigley, Former Unite Regional Secretary “ Lifelong learning is very important for the trade union movement. You can equate it to the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, when I was a shop steward. At first, it wasn’t taken seriously, and a lot of people didn’t think it was important compared to the other pressing industrial relations issues at the time. Over time, though, the people who made a real difference to the health and safety landscape were the reps.”
17. “ The Life Long Learning agenda is possibly the key to the door in breaking down diversity issues within workplaces! Trade Unions have been described as “Pale, Male & Stale” I undertook learning in the workplace, wanted to help others as I was helped by Unite the Union, so I became a Shop Steward & Union Learning Rep and have been successful in encouraging others into learning.” Edith Kidd Unite the Union Learning Rep
