Activists conference: south
Everybody in: Your place in the RCM
The 2024 in conference forms part of the ongoing training provided for all activists and is a great opportunity to learn from your peers, join in discussions and hear the latest employment relations updates. We will be reflecting on issues activists have raised throughout the year and provide you with tools to help support members and update you on the latest developments in the RCM.
Join us to celebrate your achievements, learn from each others experiences, develop your skills and discuss key issues with your colleagues.
