WEA and GFTU Collaboration – Their Legacy – Our Heritage

The Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) and the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU) are pleased to launch a series of online classes with leading experts in their fields on key components of working class history that have lasting impact.

The GFTU has taken all reasonable care to ensure that pages published were accurate on the stated date of publication or the last modification. Other pages which may be linked to the GFTU home page or to other GFTU pages, or which have a GFTU address, could have been published by GFTU teams or other parts of the organisation, or those associated with the organisation, or by staff acting entirely in a personal capacity.

Readers should verify information gained from the web with the appropriate GTFU authorities before relying on it as it is in the nature of web sites, many of which are experimental or constantly changing, that information published may be for test purposes, out of date, or the personal opinion of the author.
