The Global Labour University Programme at Wits celebrates its 10 year anniversary.

The year 2016 marks 10 years of the Global Labour University (GLU) Programme at Wits which offers postgraduate degrees in Labour Policy and Globalisation, specifically for trade unionists and labour activists from Africa and the Global South. Over the last decade, the programme has graduated over 50 trade unionists through the MA and Honours postgraduate programmes.

GLU will host a celebratory event to celebrate its achievements bringing together GLU alumni, partner organisations, key officials from South African trade unions and labour organisations as well as labour scholars and academics. Professor Edward Webster and Dr Frank Hoffer (ILO Geneva), who have been instrumental in initiating the GLU programme in South Africa, will deliver addresses.
