Course Outlines

Employment Law Courses

These courses were heavily over subscribed in 2010 and we expect them to be equally popular this year. They cover the areas of employment law most likely to affect our members and organisation. The courses will be tutored by Thompsons solicitors. Branches who want to have briefings on specific areas of the law can ask UNISON’s Legal Officer Suzanne Craig s.craig@unison.co.uk for assistance.
