Unions in schools

A set of resources about trade unions, designed for teachers to use in secondary schools and colleges, has been developed by the TUC and partner unions including the school teaching unions.

The Unions into Schools website contains lesson plans, presentations, videos and activities to “make learning about unions an exciting interactive experience”.

It brings together historical and contemporary information “to help extend students’ understanding of unions, their history and the role they play in the contemporary workplace and society”. It includes historical content produced in partnership with the TUC Library Collections at London Metropolitan University.
