 Workshops
Scottish Union Learning is arranging for four different workshops to be held at the Conference. Each delegate will be able to attend one workshop, to be chosen while registering. Details of the workshops are:
1. Building an Effective Voice
Building self-sufficient local organisation in the workplace is important.  Local leaders, whether they are ULRs, Equality reps or union members are crucial in achieving this.  This workshop will look at the skills required, some of which may not traditionally be associated with leadership, and look at how to identify, nurture and support future union leaders in the workplace.
2. How to Be Irreplaceable in an Automated Workplace
Will robots take over the world? Can they think like us? Can they act like us? Let's get to grips with understanding the practicalities of an automation revolution.  This interactive workshop will consider what makes a job safe or at risk, both now and in the future. We'll discuss how automation is likely to change worker's roles, but also to consider what learning can take place to ensure they develop their role or skills to become "irreplaceable".
3. Disability Equality in the Workplace – Making the most of Staff Training
Join inclusion Scotland for a taster session of Disability Equality Training with a focus on including disabled colleagues. We will discuss the barriers disabled people face in recruitment, employment, learning and promotion in work.
We will also discuss some findings from our report Situations Vacant: Employerability and Disabled People’s Rights to Work. This session is delivered by disabled facilitators. 
4. Menopause and the Workplace
Around 64% of women between the age of 50 and 64 are in employment so more women than ever are now working through and beyond the menopause. As Trade Union reps we have a role to play in challenging attitudes to the menopause in the workplace, working with employers to ensure the correct policies and procedures are in place and providing support and advice to women with any problems they have. This fringe meeting is an opportunity to hear from you about your experiences in the workplace, either personal or through your role as reps and to look at the work the STUC Women’s Committee have done in this area over the last few years.
