Over the past fifteen months, I have had the pleasure of
participating in the ATL-NUT Joint Officer Group, a committee of eight lay
representatives (four from each union) who have been meeting to discuss the
prospect of creating a new union fit for the twenty-first century. It has been
a fascinating process, during which we have all learned a lot about the other
union’s core values and world view and, through consultation with our
respective executives and more widely, the aspirations of their
members, and indeed our own.
