Abstract
Argues that trade union education has tended to mirror the wider fortunes and complexities both within the particular union (or unions) and within the wider socio‐economic environment. The present period is, arguably, one such “moment” where the conceptions and practices informing trade union education are strongly informed by wider societal considerations. This paper examines this “moment”.
