Council 4 (and our national AFSCME union) offer a wealth of free training and education opportunities, both in-person and online.
In 2020, Council 4 is launching "Saturday Study Hall" trainings at our office in New Britain. We've scheduled classes on a wide range of subject matter, from grievance handling, social media and CPR/Opioid training to post-retirement planning, union treasurer responsibilities and OSHA certification. We are also teaming up with the Connecticut AFL-CIO for a special training geared toward union members running for political office.
