Many countries are experiencing a troubling resurgence of far-right politics.
Historically, trade unions have been at the forefront of anti-fascist and anti-racist struggles, as we are rooted in principles of solidarity, social justice, equality, and collective action.
The EIS has long-standing anti-racist, anti-fascist policy and will continue, along with the TUC, STUC, and sister trade unions, to play an active role in tackling far-right politics when it presents in our places of learning and wider communities.
This document is designed to support EIS reps and activists in leading Branch activity against the rise of the far-right by holding Branch meetings and then holding organising conversations in respect of the dangerous far-right narratives that have been gathering traction in recent months.
The growing spread of far-right propaganda presents a serious threat, and one of the most effective ways to challenge it is through open, informed and active dialogue.
