Ten Trade Unions - Can You Name Them?
Recommend on Google+
I cover the economics of trade unions when teaching A2 microeconomics and often I am surprised at how little students know about the multiple roles that unions play, how many have adapted to changing economic conditions and, at an even more basic level, who they are! This starter for ten lists the acronyms of ten well known trade unions in three broad areas of the labour market. I reckon students would be doing well to name four of them without any research .... might be worth a try!
I will put up an answer slide on the blog in the next few days
