Three connected sessions across the year, our political schools will look at the role of trade unions in influencing parliament, the political world around us and our economy.

Our politics and the economy school explores how politics is grounded in the economic base of our society and, in turn, impacts on that economic base. The course is co-taught by GFTU tutors and members of the economics department at SOAS, University of London. No prior study of economics is required for this course, which is accessible to all trade union activists.
