The craft of organising to build power in workplaces is centuries in the making.

BetterThanZero runs regular 3-hour training courses called Take Control on the tried and tested methods of how to organise your workplace. There you can meet other workers and get involved in action.

These are delivered by the Young Workers Project, and have been developed based on tried and tested crafts of workplace organising. If you want to find out about the principles behind the course, or develop a course for a particular kind of workplace, contact Cailean Gallagher at cgallagher@stuc.org.uk.
