Please note that in the summer of 2011 the PSAC granted our workshop equivalency to their two-day Talking Union Basics (TUB) workshop. Therefore some participants will note similar activities and some repetition. USGE includes a third day that allows us to meet the PSAC objectives and take them a step further to relate more directly to our Locals' issues. USGE has added a pre-assignment to be done before the workshop and brought to the workshop. In order to receive your certificate there is a homework assignment that must be completed by the Executive and sent to the USGE National Office.
