GENERAL Federation of Trade Unions (GTFU) education courses will be open to unaffiliated trade unionists from today.
The federation’s Educational Trust has launched an education fund, allowing it to offer its online and residential courses to non-affiliated unions for an annual donation.
Affiliation to the GFTU requires the sign-off of the national union, resulting in free access to all of the union’s Educational Trust courses.
