Trade Unions and Shareowner Activism Course - Using Your Organising Skills

Most of us are shareowners of companies but we aren't aware of it. Primarily through our pension funds workers have become the dominant owners of shares on the UK and global stock markets. What we haven't done in any great way is become shareowner activists, bringing the boards of companies we own to account at their AGMs.

A new course is being run by Fair Pensions, an NGO that UNISON is affilated to and has just awarded a GPF bid to. You are encouraged to sign up for training on how to mobilise and lobby a company AGM. UNISON nationally took part in lobbying the BP AGM last year jointly with Fair Pensions and others. Learn how to bring your organising skills as a trade unionist into the meetings of multi-nationals you own! http://www.fairpensions.org.uk/agm-training
