In the last 4 years the numbers of people using the social networking tool Twitter to share news and information has grown at a rapid rate. This provides opportunities (and of course 1 or 2 risks) within the trade union movement.

In addition to the national UCU Twitter, @ucu, you may be interested in the Twitter accounts of the Northern Public Services Alliance and its local coalitions: @northernpsa; @NlandPSA; @NewcastlePSA; @NTynePSA; @stynesidePSA; @sunderland_psa; @DurhamPSA; @TeessidePSA; @GheadPSA.
